To prevent SSI post surgery is an important aim after every surgery. There are two methods of wound closure technique i.e. simple wound closure and subcuticular suturing which is cosmetically better suturing technique. A prospective non-randomized study of 100 patients with surgical wound was carried out over a period of 12 months(June 2018 to June 2019) in 50 patients (group A), wound closure was done with simple interrupted method and in 50 patients(group B) with subcuticular method. This study was done in Katihar medical college, Katihar. Data including age, sex, wound infection, wound type were collected. 3% of patients in group A and 2% in group B had wound infection. Wound type of 65% of the group A and 58% of patients in the group B were clean contaminated. 42 percent of patients in group A and 36 % of patients in group B are located in the age of 21 to 40 years. 74% of group A and 70% of group B were male. Surgical site of 88 %, 1%, 2% and 9% of patients in group A and 80%, 2%, 10% and 8% of patients in group B was in abdomen, thorax, head and neck and extremity, respectively. Incidence of wound infection in patients who had surgical wounds sutured by subcuticular and simple were 8% and 4%, respectively that this difference was not statistically significant. Therefore in our study it depicts that subcuticular suturing is having better aesthetic result. In our study, the incidence of wound infection was lower than other studies.
