The simple running suture aka "The Baseball Stitch" or running percutaneous suture. This is a time saving suture that has some pros and cons. Prosit is fast and easy to perform. Consit is best done on wounds with less tension, tension can be difficult to distribute along its entire length, and if any infection develops after closure, you may have to remove the entire suture instead of just 12 sutures as with an interrupted suture closure.
Strive for symmetry with equal spacing between sutures.
