In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly used methods of closing the skin after surgery for an intracranial tumor. Skin closure is one of the most important steps in neurosurgical procedures, as it has a major influence on how well the wound heals. In patients with brain tumors, proper wound healing is especially important because it may affect how soon additional treatments, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, can be started. There are different ways to close the skin after surgery, including running sutures and interrupted sutures. Both methods are widely used and considered safe. However, in oncological neurosurgery, there is limited scientific evidence comparing their effects, and the choice of technique is often based on the surgeon's personal experience. In this study, investigators will compare skin closure using running absorbable sutures with interrupted non-absor
