A wound on the neck, hand, foot, or genital area is closed in layers, with the deeper tissue stitched separately from the skin surface, providing a stronger closure than a single-layer repair for a wound that is gaping or deep. This version applies to a wound in the longer range of sizes handled this way in that group of body areas.
