This paper reports the results of a trial, comparing the use of disposable skin staplers with conventional nylon or silk sutures in skin closure. This study began in 1986; 7274 patients undergoing elective and emergency operations were controlled during the postoperative period, 3 and 6 months after surgery. It was shown that skin clips instead of sutures decrease the operative time, produce wound healing with a good cosmetic results, and above all a significant lowering of the wound infection rate.
