N2 - Skin, which is the biggest organ in the human body, is vital to many aspects of our lives. Significant skin damage, such as a wound, can undoubtedly affect the skin's ability to protect the body and, in some cases, even endanger life. Understanding the importance of effective wound treatment is very important. The main goal of successful wound care is rapid wound healing with excellent functional and cosmetic results. A suture is any material thread that connects tissues or binds blood vessels together. In clinical settings, sutures of varying types, such as simple interrupted, vertical mattress, horizontal mattress, and sub-cuticular, are widely employed. When applying stainless steel staples, using staples is an excellent alternative to suture closure. The use of adhesive or sticky glue to seal the skin, close the margins of laceration wounds, or as an addition to various surgical operations are all examples of adhesive treatments. Each method has advantages and pitfalls of its own. There is no significant difference between the three wound closure procedures in terms of cosmetic concerns, potential secondary infections, discomfort, expenses, or time necessary for the wound closure process.
