Skin and subcutaneous tissues are elastic and can be stretched.
What Chen Cang had to do was to stretch the skin flap over and then suture it.
Because this kind of skin flap was harvested from the area adjacent to the defect, the thickness, color, and toughness of the flap all met the requirements of the defect site.
But to think that the surgery was without difficulty would be a mistake.
The reason Gong Daizhen had invited Chen Cang, as she and Qi Xiangzheng had explained clearly, was because:
When performing a skin flap transplant, such a flap would have tension after being stretched!
Moreover, the area below was the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and the neck had a greater range of movement than any other part–you can control your facial movements, but swallowing, breathing, speaking, turning around, any movement could not occur without the neck being involved!
Once the neck moved, there was a possibility that the wound would sustain further strain!
Under such circumstances, if a turned-over skin flap was used, not only would there be tension, but given the unique area of the neck, the difficulty of suturing would be extremely challenging!
And with so much tension and range of motion, aesthetic suture lines could not be used.
The advantage of an aesthetic suture line is that it won’t leave scars easily when suturing a wound because it is very fine.
Perhaps some people don’t understand what an aesthetic suture line is.
“Aesthetic suture line,” to be precise, should be called a microsurgical suture line.
They are normally only suitable for suturing areas with very little skin tension such as blood vessels, nerves, facial skin, and for use in ophthalmic and microsurgical operations!
But for general surgery, the tension at the incision is far too great for an “aesthetic suture line” to handle–how could it be used for suturing? Could the wound even be closed? Even if it was closed, it would likely burst open.
Compared to ordinary sutures, an aesthetic suture line is much finer than a strand of hair, usually below the size of 6/0.
Given its fineness, it’s no surprise that its tensile strength is very low and very fragile!
