简要总结
The investigators hypothesize that everting wound edges while suturing surgical sites will result in more aesthetic scars. Additionally, we also hypothesize that small to moderate wound irregularities present at 3 months will resolve by 6 months after surgery with no intervention

研究组 & 干预措施
Everted suture technique
Technique that everts the skin; the edges will sit up against each other in a little peak, raised above the surrounding skin.
干预措施: Everted suture technique (Procedure)
Non-everted suture technique
Surgical wound will be approximated such that the suture line is flat relative to the surrounding skin.
干预措施: Non-everted suture technique (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Everted versus non-everted suturing techniques
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
Primary outcome measures for this study are the post operative scar width measured at 1 cm from the midline on both sides of the scar.
Mean score of sum of 2 blinded observers POSAS scores
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
The mean summed total of two blinded reviewers Physician Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) scores for each side of the wound.
Scar measurements (height, width, length)
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
Scar volume will be measured in centimeters on both sides of the wound
Scar induration
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
Scar induration area will be measured in centimeters for both sides of the wound
Scar erythema
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
Scar erythema area will be measured in centimeters for both sides of the wound
Wound contour irregularities
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
Wound contour irregularities will be measured in terms of volume in cubic centimeters via a length, width and height measurement
Stand cone volume
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
The volume of standing cones will be measured via length, width and height measurements in centimeters
Uneven edge measurement
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
The area of uneven edges will be measured via a length x height measurement in centimeters
Hyperpigmentation area
时间窗: 3 and 6 months
areas of hyperpigmentation will be measured via a length x width measurement in centimeters
次要结局
- Infection(up to 6 months)
- wound dehiscence(up to 6 months)
- spitting sutures(3 and 6 months)
