The suture is supported by the intact skin and the fascia and is applied after debridement of necrotic tissue and eradication of the infection. After being tied, the suture approximates the subcutaneous tissues of both edges of the wound and obliterates subcutaneous dead space without causing an extra stress on defective tissue. This promotes healing, suppresses the contraction process, and delays scar formation, thus decreasing hospitalization time.}, number={34}, publisher={T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Şehir Hastanesi}
