Currently within the operating rooms of our hospitals there are a number of patients requiring intervention for cervical disc pathologies, which at the time of performing the suturing process, a horizontal scar is acquired at the neck level; an injury that after not being successful an adequate resolution, both in the functional recovery of the entire cervical area as well as the disappearance of the pain suffered prior to intervention, results in serious consequences that surely affect not only the image of the patient but also the suffers, but also their psycho-emotional development and their social development. Studies have recently been published that support the use of botulinum toxin injection in the muscular area adjacent to the wounds, causing the immobilization of the wound and with it, a significant improvement in the appearance of the final scar.
