Explanation

"Two-layered fashion" in medicine refers to a method of closing a wound or surgical incision. The first layer involves stitching the deeper tissues under the skin, while the second layer involves stitching the skin itself. This method is often used to ensure the wound heals properly and to minimize the appearance of scars. It's like sewing a tear in a piece of fabric, first you fix the inner part and then the outer part to make it look neat and clean.
