Background: With the development of accelerated rehabilitation and the pressures placed on surgeons to reduce lengths of stay in hospital, the method of skin closure has become increasingly important in surgical procedures. This study was done for the comparison of skin closure in surgical wounds with skin stapler and conventional suturing in orthopaedic and general surgeries. Material and methods: The study comprised 100 patients who underwent surgery. The surgical procedure, the means of closing the surgical wound, and its benefits and drawbacks were then explained to the chosen patients. The study enrolled those who completed the consent form and gave their permission. Results: It was found that with stapler the mean pain score in VAS was 1.58±0.91 whereas with suture the mean pain score in VAS was found to be 4.41±0.35 which was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). The time to close wounds was shorter in the staple group (mean=4±2.0 min) than the suture group (9±1.2min). There was no significant difference between the groups for complications. Conclusion: The study determined that skin staples are superior to traditional sutures in orthopaedic and other general surgeries due to their ability to close wounds faster.
