For the first time, UTMB Dermatology has published an article in the peer-reviewed journal PRS Global Open. The article, “Progressive Tightening of Pulley Sutures for Primary Repair of Large Scalp Wounds,” is a case report of a novel surgical closure technique for large scalp wounds that was developed in the UTMB Department of Dermatology last year. The first author of the article was Dr. Helen Malone, the inaugural UTMB Fellow in Micrographic Surgery and Dermatology Oncology (Mohs), and UTMB resident co-authors were Dr. Jillian McLaughlin (UTMB PGY4 Plastic Surgery Resident) and Dr. Lindy Ross (UTMB PGY4 Dermatology Resident). UTMB Faculty Co-authors on this publication were Dr. Linda Phillips (UTMB Division Director of Plastic Surgery) and Richard Wagner (UTMB Mohs Fellowship Director). The UTMB DIG congratulates all of the authors of this innovative surgical technique!
