Fast Absorbing Gut Suture Versus Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesive in the Epidermal Closure of Linear Repairs Following Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Yale University·interventional·Posted Feb 17, 2011·Updated Nov 9, 2012

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Cyanoacrylate tissue glue versus Fast absorbing gut for Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of the study is to look at which nonpermanent superficial closure method, cyanoacrylate tissue glue or fast absorbing gut suture, leads to a better cosmetic and functional outcome in repairs of facial wounds after Mohs surgery.

Interventions

Cyanoacrylate tissue glue versus Fast absorbing gutdevice

All wounds will be closed using a linear, bilayered closure method, where the buried intradermal absorbing suture (5-0, Polysorb) will be placed along the length of the incision, consistent with standard surgical procedure. Only patients with wounds with a length of 3cm or greater will be enrolled. Each wound will be measured, and the length divided in half. Half of the surgical wound will be randomly selected (by coin toss) for epidermal reapproximation with cyanoacrylate, whereas the other half will be repaired with 6-0 fast absorbing gut suture in standard running fashion.
