ABSTRACT
Postoperative closure techniques in breast reconstruction have remained largely unchanged over the past 75 years, despite recent use of adhesives and subcuticular staples and the advent of self-anchoring barbed sutures. In this article, the author discusses the applications for barbed sutures in breast reconstruction and describes specific techniques. Innovations in barbed suture material are also described, and the author's personal experiences are presented in comparison with traditional suturing techniques.
