AB For  millennia,  surgical  and  traumatic  wounds  have  been  closed  with  sutures  and  similar  materials,  yet  it  was  only  with  the  introduction  of  local  anesthesia  130  years  ago  that  surgeons  were  able  to  move  from  focusing  on  the  most  rapid  suture  placement  technique  to  the  most  effective.  From  William  Halsted’s  promotion  of  the  buried  suture  technique  in  the  late  nineteenth  century  to  contemporary  articles  on  the  subtleties  of  suture  placement  and  tissue  handling,  a  paradigm  shift  has  taken  place,  with  an  increasing  appreciation  that  not  only  are  there  multiple  available  approaches  for  any  single  suture  placement,  but  that  this  choice  may  impact  outcomes.
