OBJECTIVE: To examine the clinical effectiveness of super tension-relieving sutures in surgical wound repair among pediatric patients after surgery. METHODS: The study included 100 patients with skin tumors who underwent surgical resection in the Hunan Children's Hospital outpatient department between January 2021 and December 2022. The experimental group (n = 55) received super tension-relieving sutures, while the control group (n = 45) received traditional tension-relieving sutures. The wound healing status, decompression duration, scar status, and effectiveness rates between the two groups were compared after 6 months of treatment. RESULTS: The experimental group exhibited higher wound eversion height, wound healing grade, the Vancouver Scar Scale scores, and wound satisfaction (p <
0.05) compared to the control group, while no significant difference was observed in wound infection and subcutaneous hematoma between the two groups (p >
0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Using super tension-relieving sutures effectively reduces wound tension, minimizes scar formation, and improves postoperative aesthetics with patient satisfaction in pediatric dermatological surgery.
