Ethilon 2-0(Ethicon) was used for closure in the suture group Autosure ROYAL staples group. Scar cosmesis was measured using Vancouver scar scale after 1 month and 6 months. The results were analysed using Pearson’s Chi Mean score of scar cosmesis after o Mean score of scar cosmesis after six months in suture group was groups. Conclusion: Stainless steel stapler is a better method of closure than conventional sutures, as it produces a much better scar.
