included patients who had sutured wounds in the ED were asked about complications after suture .
All patients using the emergency room of EPS Fattouma Bourguiba Monastir are welcomed by a resident in the suture room. After an inclusion, patients are cared for in the outpatient circuit and the suture will be done in the dedicated box. Before discharging the patient, instructions and standardized prescriptions are given to the patient such as standard prescriptions for local wound care, removal of stitches and verification of vaccination status.
The data relevant to this study are obtained prospectively from a detailed questionnaire in the annex and a telephone call and they are completed retrospectively with the data collected in the computerized medical record.
At the healing period, between 15 days and 45 days after the suture, the investigators called the patients back in order to know the evolution of the wound, the adherence to the instructions and the prescriptions, the quality of healing and the search for complications (infection , loose stitches, hematoma, etc.)
