In pediatric surgery, skin closure is an important problem, given the need to avoid soiling by feces and urine and to have a good cosmetic result. Furthermore, the increasing number of surgical operations on outpatients or with a short period of hospitalization significantly reduce the number of medical consultations. Personal experience with a fast absorption material for skin closure in 65 children demonstrated a perfectly watertight suture, a satisfactory cosmetic result and a low cost. This procedure has another advantage: no removal of the stitches, eliminating the need for medical or paramedical care.
