Abstract
Objective: To provide systematic information for deep understanding and improvement of tension-reducing suture of deep layer skin. Methods: The related literature over the years was extensively collected and precisely processed to summarize the characteristics and applications of different tension-reducing suture of deep layer skin. Results: Throughout the development of plastic surgery, tension-reducing suture of deep layer skin mainly includes vertical mattress suture and its modified styles, horizontal mattress suture and its modified styles, and some special types of suture technique, and each one of them has its own characteristics and is suitable for wounds with different tension and shape. Conclusion: Clinically, surgeons need to select appropriate tension-reducing suture techniques according to specific factors such as wound location and tension, so as to fully reduce the tension of the wound, which can achieve good wound healing and prevent the pathological scaring.
