English term or phrase: Knot Spitting

Fast absorbing sutures, like Caprosyn, can helps reduce suture related problems such as knot spitting (also called stitch spitting, or suture extrusion).
Because these sutures are essentially absorbed before these problems usually start.
However
Fast absorbing sutures may not provide sufficient support to the wound).
So, it is possible, as these sutures lose their tensile strength the opposing forces on the wound edge can result in spreading scars or even dehiscence.
Long term absorbable sutures provide maximum wound support and added security against spreading scars, and dehiscence, but…
But
Slow absorption can lead to the formation of stitch sinus, granulation tissue, infection and knot spitting.

Nahtabstoßung kann so auf ein Minimum reduziert werden

knot spitting Knoten einwachsen, (in die Haut einwandern oder einwuchern)

Explanation:
Potential for time and cost savings:
No knot
No 3rd hand required
Less OR time
Less suture material required
Multi-layer closure possible

Potential for better patient outcomes:
Tension more evenly distributed instead of single point fixation
Better scar potential because of soft tissue support
Avoids knot complications
No knot spitting
No knot pain
No knot visibility

The proper method begins by entering subcutaneous tissue deep within the wound in order to bury the knot at the base of the defect; this maneuver decreases the risk of the knot “spitting” through the skin surface.

Diese Beschreibung läßt an Einstechen, Einwandern, Einwuchern in die Haut denken. Vgl. "spit" = Bratspieß (auch wenn es meist die Bedeutung von "Spucken" hat).
