Abstract

Objective

To examine the clinical effectiveness of super tension-relieving sutures in surgical wound repair among pediatric patients after surgery.

Methods

The study included 100 patients with skin tumors who underwent surgical resection in the Hunan Children's Hospital outpatient department between January 2021 and December 2022. The experimental group (n = 55) received super tension-relieving sutures, while the control group (n = 45) received traditional tension-relieving sutures. The wound healing status, decompression duration, scar status, and effectiveness rates between the two groups were compared after 6 months of treatment.

Results

The experimental group exhibited higher wound eversion height, wound healing grade, the Vancouver Scar Scale scores, and wound satisfaction (p < 0.05) compared to the control group, while no significant difference was observed in wound infection and subcutaneous hematoma between the two groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

Using super tension-relieving sutures effectively reduces wound tension, minimizes scar formation, and improves postoperative aesthetics with patient satisfaction in pediatric dermatological surgery.
