After resection in the eye region, skin closure is most often performed with non-absorbable single knots. To investigate how far intracutaneous skin closure with Dexon absorbable suture material could demonstrate advantages to the traditional suture technique, 57 patients with senile entropions of the lower eyelid were randomized into one of two treatment groups. After a scaphoidal skin resection and resection of fibers of orbicularis muscle, the skin closure was performed with either continuous intracutaneous Dexon 6 or single knots of silk. This study demonstrates that both methods are easy and safe, but a superiority of the technique with absorbable intracutaneous skin closure was found in regard to immediate cosmetic satisfaction and time-consumption at controls, if necessary, because removal of suture material is not necessary.
