The factors that determine how well a wound heals include preoperative, operative and post operative elements. Skin closure is the conclusion of the total procedure and is often left to the most junior person in theatre. The wound, however, is the only part of the operation that is seen by the patient. The way the wound is closed will determine how well it heals and the scar - it is the surgeons' indelible signature. The patient will look at the scar and remember you! BBASS outlines the principles of skin closure and looks at the benefits of each technique.
