PROCEDURE

Purse-String

"The wound will be closed using one, long, continuous suture which will enter and exit run through the skin along the inner edge of the wound. The start and stopping point will be adjacent to one another. The suture will then be pulled on either side to essentially cinch down the wound, decreasing the size of the wound."

PROCEDURE

Second Intent

The wound will not be sutured, and allowed to heal on its own.
