Which procedure is used to repair a skin laceration?

• A. Laceration Repair
• B. Suturing
• C. Dermablation
• D. Wound Debridement

Answer: (A)

Repairing a skin laceration is done through laceration repair, which covers the full process of cleaning, anesthetizing, aligning the wound edges, and securing them with sutures, staples, or adhesive. Suturing is a common technique used within this procedure to close the wound, but the term laceration repair describes the overall process of closing the wound. Dermablation removes surface skin for resurfacing, not wound closure. Wound debridement cleans away dead tissue to prepare the wound but is not the final repair itself.
