Abstract

The conventional management of scalp laceration has its drawbacks. Most patients complain of scalp itching, sticky hair and pain at the time of dressing change, because the washing of the hair is restricted and the wound is covered with gauze before the patients have their stitches removed. In this paper, we report the results of trial given to a new management method. The wound was exposed to the air two days after suturing and washing the hair was allowed at the same time. The trial involved 40 outpatients with scalp laceration. There were no complications of wound infection or delayed healing due to this method. And also most patients (90%) said they felt comfortable. Thus, as an alternative management of scalp laceration this method proved useful for comfortable wound treatment.
