AB Most  lacerations  are  uncomplicated  and  can  be  repaired  primarily.  Complications  (dehiscence,  infection,  improper  healing,  scarring)  can  be  minimized  by  proper  suturing  techniques,  including  good  wound  edge  approximation  and  decreasing  wound  tension.  Wound  edge  eversion  is  also  essential  for  proper  healing  as  the  edge  will  flatten  with  time.
