“…In paediatric surgery, Romero et al assessed the use of subcuticular suture and either cyanoacrylate glue or Steri‐Strips® in the closure of laparoscopic ports after laparoscopic appendectomy . A single case of SSI occurred in the Steri‐Strips® group—no significant difference was identified in the incidence of SSI.…”

Surgical site infection (SSI) is associated with increased morbidity, length of stay, and cost. Cyanoacrylate glue is a low‐cost, fluid‐proof, antimicrobial barrier. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the use of cyanoacrylate glue after standard wound closure versus dressings in the reduction of SSI. Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and clinical trial registries were searched with no restrictions in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Eligibility criteria were prospective studies comparing glue versus dressings after standardised wound closure. Two reviewers independently screened articles and utilised GRADE for quality assessment. Meta‐analysis was not performed because of the heterogeneity of the data. Three articles were included in the review. Study quality was uniformly low. Incidence of SSI was low, between 0% and 4%. No significant differences were reported in the single randomised controlled trial. A single non‐randomised parallel group trial reported a significant reduction in the incidence of SSI in the cyanoacrylate group. There was no consistent evidence demonstrating reduction in SSI as a result of the use of cyanoacrylate glue. Future studies should assess the use of cyanoacrylate in procedures with a higher rate of SSI, for example, lower limb bypass.

Background: Every year several million women have to undergo gynecological surgery. As a result of that they acquire an abdominal scar. Nowadays women of all ages place extreme importance on the appearance of the scar in addition to the symptoms of pain, tenderness and itching. An aesthetically poor scar can have a negative impact on the overall quality of life causing considerable distress, loss of self-esteem and unhappiness. The appearance of the scar is of significant importance and is often the only reminder of surgery. Aim of the Study: to compare between skin adhesive tape (steri-strips) and non-absorbable suture in closure of abdominal laparoscopic port sites. Patients and methods: The current prospective case control study was conducted at Ain Shams University maternity hospital .the participating women were randomly allocated into two arms .Arm (A): women had laparoscopic port sites closed with skin adhesive tape. Arm (B): women had laparoscopic port sites closed with non-absorbable sutures. Results: A total of 142 women were included. The overall incidence of pain was 0.1%and 0.2%, redness was 8.5% and 23.9%,hotness was 2.8% and 12.7%, discharge was 1.4% and 4.2%, impaired healing was 1.4% and 5.6% and satisfaction was 94.4%and 63.4% in arm A and B respectively. Conclusion: using skin adhesive tape (Steri Strep ®) in closure of abdominal laparoscopic port sites is associated with a decreased risk of wound complications and increased rate of patient satisfaction.

“…The VAS is an instrument that yields a simple numerical quantification of subjective perceptions of satisfaction, ranging from 1 (worst possible) to 10 (best imaginable). This scale has been previously used for scoring the cosmetic results after wound closure . To our knowledge, very few studies asked participants to score their own cosmetic result using this validated visual analogue scale .…”

“…The debate remains open on the use of cyanoacrylates for closing surgical wounds. Based on the results of clinical trials, some researchers advocate their use, whereas others report better outcomes with conventional sutures . Nonetheless, most found no difference in the cosmetic outcome of wounds repaired using either method .…”

Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial Comparing a Tissue Adhesive (Dermabond™) with Adhesive Strips (Steri-Strips™) for the Closure of Laparoscopic Trocar Wounds in Children

Abstract: Both tissue adhesives and adhesive strips are excellent "no needle" alternatives for the closure of laparoscopic port-site incisions in children. As regards cosmetic outcome, Steri-Strip™ wound closure seems to be the most suitable and is also the less expensive technique.
