| Cosmesis | cosmetic scar outcome; photo will be taken of scar at 2 months and graded using a visual analog scale (VAS) by blinded reviewers. The VAS is a 0-100mm standardized scale where 0mm represents the "worst scar" and 100mm represents the "best scar" and reviewers will place a marking along the line of where they feel the scar belongs. | 2 months after repair |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Time to repair laceration | A stopwatch will be used to time how long it takes the physician to repair the wound | Day 0 (physician will complete just after the repair) |
| Ease of repair of laceration |

Physicians will complete a VAS (visual analog scale) on how easy the laceration was to repair. The VAS is a 0-100mm scale where 0 will represent "very easy" and 100mm will represent "very difficult" to repair and the physician will mark along the scale.
| Day 0 (physician will complete just after the repair) |
| Type of analgesia & sedation required | Physician will write down what types of analgesia they used and whether or not sedation was used after the repair is complete | Day 0 (physician will complete just after the repair) |
| Wound dehiscence | Families will get a phone call at 1 week to discuss if this has occurred. The electronic medical record will also be reviewed. | 1 week |
| Wound infection | Families will get a phone call at 1 week to discuss if this has occurred. The electronic medical record will also be reviewed. | 1 week |
