“…The stabiliser is neutralised by partially ionised water molecules on the skin surface, which ultimately cause polymerisation of the molecules. [5] Interestingly, the OCA breaking strength is approximately five times the strength of monofilament nylon sutures. [6] High-viscosity OCA (HVOCA) is a newer formulation that is thicker than the original OCA.…”

Introduction:On a daily basis, dermasurgeons are faced with different kinds of wounds that have to be closed. With a plethora of skin closure materials currently available, choosing a solution that combines excellent and rapid cosmetic results with practicality and cost-effectiveness can be difficult, if not tricky.Objectives:We aimed to review the available skin closure materials over the past 20 years and the scientific claims behind their effectiveness in repairing various kinds of wounds.Materials and Methods:The two authors independently searched and scrutinised the literature. The search was performed electronically using Pub Med, the Cochrane Database, Google Scholar and Ovid as search engines to find articles concerning skin closure materials written since 1990.Conclusion:Many factors are involved in the choice of skin closure material, including the type and place of the wound, available materials, physician expertise and preferences, and patient age and health. Evidence-based main uses of different skin closure materials are provided to help surgeons choose the appropriate material for different wounds.

“…This is an excellent suturing method that does not require postoperative suture removal and has been used in the treatment of primary cleft lip repair, for example. 14 However, lateral ray polydactyly that involves detailed and complex design for bone and joints in patients with small toes requires accurate yet durable sutures of tiny skin flaps in a three-dimensional manner to prevent postoperative deformation of toes. If absorbable deep sutures and Dermabond are used in such cases, we believe it would require highly skillful surgical techniques and a longer operation time.…”

Background:This study describes the use of a bioabsorbable suture for skin suturing during surgery for lateral ray polydactyly followed by favorable postoperative outcome without the need for postoperative suture removal.Methods:A 5-0 Vicryl Rapide suture was used for skin suturing during surgery for lateral ray polydactyly in 9 children (mean age, 12.4 mo). Children were allowed to walk and bathe 2 weeks after surgery when over-the-suture taping therapy was started.Results:In all cases, the Vicryl Rapide suture disappeared completely within 3 weeks of surgery, and no removal of residual suture was required. No postoperative complications, such as suture abscess, wound dehiscence, or ulcer, were observed. During a mean 24-month postoperative follow-up, no elevation of the interdigital space due to hypertrophic scarring or scar contracture was observed, and no revision surgery was required.Conclusions:Although the breaking strength of Vicryl Rapide declines within the first 10 days after surgery, this property will unlikely lead to postoperative wound dehiscence due to a relatively light load being applied to the lateral toes. The use of a bioabsorbable suture for skin suturing during surgery for lateral lay polydactyly is highly beneficial as it eliminates pain caused by suture removal and the risk of tissue damage while reducing the burden on medical staff.

“…This heat may damage the soft tissue and hamper its blood supply. To avoid this; manufacturers have incorporated long chains of methyl group due to which the polymerization [6,7] process is elongated and the rate of heat generation prolongs. Because intraoral mucosa is naturally moist in the presence of saliva, use of cyanoacrylate glue may find itself as an involuntary participant in the bonding process.…”

“…These agents are approved for external application only and are not to be used as internal tissue adhesive because of the reactions, toxicity [8] and carcinogenicity. In the maxillofacial field, it has been used for wound closure on extraction sockets, face, sinus perforation in sinus lift [9] gingivectomy, mucogingival flaps, biopsy, superficial oral ulcerations, recurrent multiple Aphthous ulcers and leukemia, and other sites in general surgery like axilla, lungs [10], hearts [11], scalp wounds [4], circumcision [12] and perineum, trocar sites [13], as a heamostatic means to control bleeding from skin graft [14], hair transplant donor sites, cleft lip repair [7,15] face lifts, blepharoplasty [16], brow lifts and other cosmetic surgeries and to do various anastomoses of intestine, arteries [11] and nerves [17].…”

Objective To compare the efficacy of cyanoacrylate (tissue glue) placement after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars. Materials and Methods Thirty patients with bilaterally impacted mandibular third molars were studied in this controlled clinical trial. One side closure after surgical removal of third molar was done with conventional sutures and other side with cyanoacrylate. Results The data analysis showed that postoperative bleeding with cyanoacrylate method was less significant than with suturing on the first and second day after surgery. There was no significant difference in the severity of pain between the two methods. Conclusion This study suggested that the efficacy of both, cyanoacrylate and suturing in wound closure were similar in the severity of pain, but use of cyanoacrylate showed better hemostasis.
