More and more commonly, craniotomies are being performed with minimal hair shaving to improve cosmesis and facilitate return to a normal life. In such patients, traditional sutures or metal staples are used for scalp closure. This practice requires suture removal, often perceived as a cause of discomfort by the patient. We investigate the safety and efficacy of intradermal sutures in a large, consecutive series of patients undergoing elective craniotomy.
