Summary
The cosmetic outcome of a patient's surgical scar is important for patient satisfaction, especially in more visibly exposed areas of the body such as the hand. A patient's surgical scar often serves as a long-term reminder of their surgery experience, so optimizing final scar appearance should be of high importance. Surgical incision closure techniques and suture materials may vary by individual hand surgeons, even with common hand procedures.
