This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different methods of closing the skin after surgery to remove a brain tumor. One method uses running stitches that dissolve on their own, while the other uses separate stitches that need to be removed later. Both methods are used routinely in surgery, but doctors want to know which one leads to better healing and fewer complications in patients with brain tumors.
After brain tumor surgery, how well the wound heals can affect when patients can start other treatments like radiation or chemotherapy. Right now, surgeons choose their preferred closing method based on personal experience rather than solid scientific evidence. This study aims to determine which technique produces better healing outcomes and fewer wound problems.

If you join this study, you will have brain tumor surgery as planned, but your surgeon will randomly assign you to one of two skin-closing methods. One group will receive dissolvable running stitches placed under the skin, and the other will receive individual stitches on top of the skin that need removal later. After surgery, researchers will monitor your wound healing and check for any complications like infection or fluid leakage over the recovery period.
