ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

The advantages of the cyanoacrylates in cutaneous synthesis have been often demonstrated in the literature. However, these products have been underutilized in Brazil due to the high costs of the 2-octil-cyanoacrylate. Besides, few studies have been done with the more economically accessible form, the 2-etil-cyanoacrylate, as a cutaneous tissue adhesive.

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the effectiveness of the closing of cutaneous lesions using ECA.

METHOD:

This was a prospective study in which 46 wounds were occluded using the low cost ECA as an alternative to intradermal suture.

RESULTS:

Excisions (97,8%) and traumatic wounds (2,2%) were treated with 2-etil-cyanoacrylate and deep relaxed sutures as synthesis method. Unaesthetic scars (22%), infection (2,1%), dehiscence (2,1%) and contact allergic dermatitis (2,1%) were the problems we found. There were no cases of necrosis or keloids. The results were considered satisfactory in most cases (97,3%).

CONCLUSION:

The use of 2-etil-cyanoacrylate was shown to be safe and with satisfactory cosmetic results in this group of patients.
RESUMO
FUNDAMENTOS As vantagens dos cianoacrilatos em síntese cutânea têm sido sobejamente mostradas na literatura. Entretanto, estes produtos têm sido subutilizados no Brazil devido aos elevados custos do 2-octilcianoacrilato. Ademais, a forma mais economicamente acessível, o 2-etilcianoacrilato, tem sido pouco estudada como adesivo cutâneo.

OBJETIVO:

Avaliação da eficácia do fechamento de lesões cutâneas usando o 2-etilcianoacrilato.

MÉTODO:

Estudo prospectivo no qual 46 feridas foram ocluídas usando o 2-etilcianoacrilato de baixo custo como alternativa a sutura intradérmica.

RESULTADOS:

Feridas excisionais (97,8%) e traumática (2,2%) foram tratadas com 2-etilcianoacrilato e suturas profundas relaxadoras como método de síntese. Cicatrizes inestéticas (22%), infecção (2,1%), deiscência (2,1%) e dermatite alérgica de contato (2,1%) foram os problemas encontrados. Não houve casos de necrose ou quelóides. Os resultados foram considerados satisfatórios na grande maioria dos casos (97,3%).

CONCLUSÕES:

O uso do ECA mostrou-se seguro e com resultados cosméticos satisfatórios neste grupo de pacientes.
