Abstract
The subcuticular suture has its origins not in the work of one individual but in that of generations of surgeons interested in obtaining the best wound healing possible. In their search for the perfect result they improvised and improved on the ideas of those preceding them. The result is an interesting lesson in medical history and a method of suturing that comes close to achieving the "invisible scar."Keywords
