Traditional wound closure techniques involving conventional suture, staples and wound dressings may not be the optimal choice to achieve the primary objective of multi-layer, watertight closure.8
Reducing risk factors and improving healing can be achieved with appropriate surgical technique and postoperative care. You can optimise tissue management through the principles of wound healing: gentle handling of tissues, careful haemostasis, obliteration of dead space,and avoidance of tension.9,10 Appropriate choice of wound dressing should manage wound bioburden, limit cross contamination and promote a wound healing environment. 11
