There are many causes of poor closure including infection, pain, weak tissue or muscle at the wound site, injury to the wound area, and other factors. In this article, we describe a novel technique for the closure of thoracotomy. The advantages of our technique are simplicity, speed, effectiveness, and using lesser sutures in closing the thorax.en10.5606/tgkdc.dergisi.2014.8917info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessClosing thoracotomynovel techniquepost-thoracotomy painsutureEditorial223691693Q3WOS:000339225600042Q4
