The vertical mattress stitch, often called vertical Donati stitch (named after the Italian surgeon Mario Donati),[1] is a suture type used to close skin wounds. The advantages of the vertical mattress suture are that it provides closure for both deep and superficial layers, and also allows perfect eversion and vertical opposition of the superficial skin edges.[2][3][4][5] Its disadvantage is a relatively high propensity to dig into the skin and cause prominent stitch mark scars.
