After the surgery, peritoneum is closed with an absorbable suture. The ties placed on the inferior epigastric vessels are inspected to ensure hemostasis. The rectus fascia is closed with monofilament absorbable suture. The rectus muscle stumps do not require suturing. The skin and subcutaneous tissue are closed with subcuticular suture.
This incision heals rapidly and generally has good cosmetic results, especially if a subcuticular suture is used to close the skin. [ 7 ] McEvedy's incision – McEvedy's original incision was a lateral paramedian incision which used to incise the rectus sheath along its lateral margin and gain access by pulling the rectus medially.

Application generally involves using a needle with an attached length of thread. There are numerous types of suture which differ by needle shape and size as well as thread material ...
It comes both dyed (violet) and undyed (clear) and is an absorbable monofilament suture. It is generally used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation. It is used frequently for subcuticular dermis closures of the face. It has less of a tendency to exit through the skin after it breaks down, such as Vicryl. It is contraindicated for use in ...
It is known as an interrupted stitch because the individual stitches aren't connected; they are separate. Placing and tying each stitch individually is time-consuming, but this technique keeps the wound together even if one suture fails. [1] It is simple, and relatively easy to place. A surgeon's knot or knots cross the wound perpendicularly ...
