    Abstract

    Background: Electrocautery for surgical incision is rarely used for fear of unhealthy healing and poor scar cosmesis. There is paucity of literature on the use of diathermy for incisions in elective surgeries in the randomised setting. The present study was designed to address this lacunae in literature. Material and Methods: This was a hospital-based prospective randomised control study conducted among 100 patients who underwent elective inguinal hernia surgery in a tertiary care center in Tamil Nadu, India from January 2019 to June 2020. The patients were randomised into two groups based on computer generated random numbers table. Post operative wound was evaluated on post operative day 2 and 5 using the Southamptom wound grade and scar cosmesis was assessed using the Manchester scar score at 6 months postoperatively
