Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of running subcuticular suture versus running horizontal mattress suture for the repair of cutaneous linear wounds on the trunk and extremities affects aesthetic outcomes. The study team will use a split wound model, where half of the wound is repaired with running subcuticular sutures and the other half is repaired with running horizontal mattress sutures. Three-months post-surgery, the scar will be evaluated via the patient observer scar assessment scale (POSAS), a validated scar instrument, as well as the trace-to-tape method, an objective outcome measure for linear postoperative scars. Any adverse events will also be recorded.
Primary Outcome
The primary endpoint will be the score of two blinded reviewers independently using the POSAS assessment. The observer scale of the POSAS consists of six items (vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, and surface area). All items are scored on a scale ranging from 1 ("like normal skin") to 10 ("worst scar imaginable"). The sum of the six items results in a total score of the POSAS observer scale. Furthermore, an overall opinion is scored on a scale ranging from 1 to 10. All par
