Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Precise wound approximation during cutaneous suturing is of vital importance for optimal closure and long-term scar outcomes. Utilizing smartphone camera technology as a quality-control checkpoint for objective evaluation allows the dermatologic surgeon to scrutinize the wound edges and refine their surgical technique to improve scar outcomes.
