Abstract

Throughout history, animal hair and human hair have been used as suture materials in surgery and retain sporadic interest today. This systematic literature review examines 42 primary sources to uncover insights into the use of hair sutures. Several notable figures documented their experiences across specialties, highlighting horsehair's longevity and patient comfort. Despite waning popularity owing to synthetic alternatives, recent interest in autologous hair filaments for facial wounds signals a resurgence. The time-tested hair sutures offer a cost-effective, eco-friendly option, particularly in resource-limited settings.
