Objective To treat scalp lacerations by using the hair apposition technique (HAT) and to compare the HAT with standard suturing in a controlled prospective trial. Method Fifty patients with scalp lacerations were treated either by HAT or by standard suturing. Two groups were evaluated in consumed times for operation, pain sores, and complications. Results There were 30 HAT patients and 20 patients treated with suturing. The took shorter operation time consumed[(3.33 vs. (6.05 t = 4.85.P < 0.01], and HAT produced significantly lower pain score [(1.73vs. (3.20t = 4.01,P < 0.01]. There was a trend that more and more patients were willing to have HAT performed. Conclusions The advantages of HAT include a shorter time consumed for operation, less pain, satisfactory wound healing, and high acceptance by patients.
