The use of staples over sutures reduces the local inflammatory response, width of the wound, and time it takes to close a defect.
The vertical mattress stitch is most commonly used in anatomic locations which tend to invert, such as the posterior aspect of the neck, and sites of greater skin laxity such as the closure of lax skin after removing a dermoid cyst or reduced subcutaneous tissue (e.g., the shin) that do not provide adequate subcutaneous tissue for dermal closure.

An alternative to the surgical knot is a disposable clip that is placed at the end of the suture to keep stitches secure.
