d walls and edges so that underlying tissues are held together. Healing can only occur properly if the two severed areas of tissue meet properly and remain intact. If dead space is not properly eliminated blood may pool in the wound leading to hematoma and consequently wound strength will be compromised, and thus the risk of infection will be increased.
The secondary goal of suturing is minimizing scar tissue formation. Both proper healing and minimal scarring are achieved by accomplishing two main objectives.
