A comparison of cosmetic outcomes of lacerations on the extremities and trunk using absorbable versus nonabsorbable sutures.

Another study of adults with facial lacerations found addition of topical eutectic mixture of local anesthetics to routine care decreased pain and improved patient satisfaction scores [ 21]. While studies conducted on elective surgical incisions in the operating room may not translate to the ED repair of traumatic lacerations, a recent study is of interest. Although effective, these techniques can be time consuming and pose additional limitations such as reducing the shelf life of the anesthetic. Reoperation rates for infections or poor healing were similar for all pressures, and less in the normal saline group compared to the soap group [ 12].If you have sudden pain or discomfort in one or both testicles, but no other symptoms, you should still contact a healthcare provider right away. The first is a randomized controlled trial of 493 patients undergoing minor skin excision surgeries, which found that nonsterile gloves were non-inferior to sterile gloves with regards to wound infections [ 9].

We’ve used it the common way here, to “darn a sock” is to patch up the hole somehow (in this case, with some stitches).Another recent article on type of closure material compared cosmetic outcomes of extremity and trunk lacerations repaired with absorbable versus non-absorbable sutures. Interestingly, a meta-analysis of 19 trials with 1748 patients compared the efficacy of nonabsorbable sutures with that of absorbable sutures for skin closure of surgical and traumatic lacerations. Another study assessed whether the speed of infiltration affected the amount of pain associated with injection, but found no difference whether the same volume was injected over 15, 30, or 45 seconds [ 32].
