skin closure
If a wound is difficult to close, particularly after a large ellipse of skin has been removed, sutures can be placed alternately at each end of the wound, working towards the centre. If the wound has curves or zigzags, then ‘stay sutures’ at the tip of each corner make sure that the wound edges come together in the correct orientation, to avoid ‘dogears’
