Effectiveness of tissue adhesive versus conventional sutures in the closure of inguinal hernia skin incisions: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Abstract:Background: Several surgical wound closure techniques are used including conventional sutures and skin adhesive compounds. However, tissue adhesives have evolved as an improved alternative to sutures. Few data are available on the tissue adhesives in the closure of inguinal hernia skin incisions. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of tissue adhesive in the closure of inguinal hernia skin incisions compared to conventional sutures.Methods: A 1-year randomized controlled trial was conducted… Show more
