1.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 11/01/2001 - "The vacuum-assisted wound closure technique and device (the V.A.C.) has become a widely accepted technique in the management of chronic and difficult wounds. " 10/04/2021 - "The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of wound closure technique, barbed monofilament subcuticular suture and skin glue versus staples on rates of intervention for wound drainage and length of hospital stay after geriatric hip fracture fixation. " 11/04/2023 - "Conventional surgical closure techniques, such as sutures, clips, or skin closure strips, may not always provide optimal wound closure and may require invasive procedures, which can result in potential post-surgical complications. " 09/01/2023 - "Wound closure techniques and postoperative wound dressing routines vary greatly between the participating institutions. " 10/31/2022 - "Emerging sutureless wound-closure techniques have led to paradigm shifts in wound management. "
2.	Surgical Wound Infection 01/01/2018 - "Wound closure techniques including subcuticular sutures and subcutaneous suturing have been shown to be effective at reducing surgical site infections. " 08/01/2020 - "With the appearance of new wound closure techniques and suture materials, we felt compelled to perform a retrospective study on our institution's neurosurgical population to determine how our institution compared to others in terms of incidence of surgical site infection (SSI). " 01/01/2020 - "The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of implementing the small steps wound closure technique in clinical practice with regards to the development of incisional ventral hernia (IVH) and surgical site infections (SSI) in clinical practice. " 12/01/2018 - "There was no difference in the incidence of surgical site infections (p=0.361), local wound related complications (p=0.316), or revision surgeries (p=0.267) between wound closure techniques. " 11/01/2017 - "Obesity was an independent risk factor for surgical site infections, regardless of wound closure technique (adjusted odds ratio=3.24, 95% CI, 1.66-6.32; P<0.001). "
3.	Wound Infection (Wound Infections) 03/01/1991 - "Effect of Wound Closure Technique on Wound Infection in the Morbidly Obese: results of a randomized trial." 06/01/2014 - "Wound infections only occurred in groups C (n = 10, 12 %) compared to group PS (n = 0; 0 %; p = 0.034), and the wound closure technique was the only significant factor associated with surgical site infection. " 06/01/2009 - "In both fixed- and random-effects models, there was no difference between the two port-site wound closure techniques in terms of wound infection, wound dehiscence and, patient satisfaction. " 03/01/2012 - "The modified wound closure technique described above appears to minimize cardiac device wound infections while facilitating cosmetically acceptable wound scar formation." 04/01/2014 - "But the continuous suturing with intermittent Aberdeen knot technique is a better option to prevent complications such as stitch granuloma, chronic wound pain, and wound infection, which are higher in the simple interrupted fascial wound closure technique. "
4.	Astigmatism 07/01/1994 - "We evaluated the efficacy of using a modified wound-closure technique in cataract surgery to reduce presurgical against-the-rule (ATR) astigmatism. " 08/01/1993 - "In some studies surgically induced astigmatism by different wound constructions and wound-closure techniques has been compared to determine the astigmatism induced. "
5.	Inflammation (Inflammations) 12/01/2022 - "The MAs of the controlled animal studies showed comparable results with regard to closure, mortality and complications, and suggested improved mechanical strength and lower inflammation scores after AM application when compared to standard surgical closure techniques.
