Abstract
A disposable skin stapler (Elite: Auto Suture UK Ltd) and Nylon vertical mattress sutures have been used for skin closure. The complications related to each method were evaluated in 129 wounds. There was a higher incidence of inflammation, discomfort on removal and spreading of the healing scar associated with staples. The only advantage of staples was speed of wound closure.Entities:
