Study Summary
The use of tissue adhesives for the closure of surgical incisions is becoming increasingly common. Several publications exist purporting the equivalence of tissue adhesive to suture with regard to dehiscence, infection, and cosmesis. Two of the most frequently used adhesives are Histoacryl© and Dermabond©. Despite their popularity, only one study exists comparing the two. In this non-English study only small wounds in an exclusively pediatric population were studied (12). Operative time, cost, and objective measures of scar size were not examined. In the present study we aim to evaluate the relatively large surgical incisions resulting from breast reduction, mastopexy, panniculectomy, and abdominoplasty closed with either Histoacryl©, Dermabond©, or subcuticular suture. The primary aim is to investigate differences in time to wound closure. Secondary aims are to compare the three approaches with respect to cost, dehiscence, infection, scar size, and cosmesis.
