Abstract
The extended incision in cochlear implatation has to be performed for several reasons; therefore the wound closure needs single or continuou s suture for the skin. The suture removal seems to be traumatic for ch ildren. That is why we have using an intracutaneous absorbable suture to avoid material removal for more than 6 months now without any compl ications in the 35 patients in question.
