Management of different types of wound by cyanoacrylate glue fixation: a random study of 213 patients.

ABSTRACT

A random study for management of wound by cyanoacrylate glue in 213 patients, irrespective of age and sex with different types of wounds was carried out over a period of 4 years (1996-2000). In this series both dean surgical wounds and infected accidental wounds were included. Most of the patients recovered uneventfully, except 5, who showed wound gap. Reapplication of glue was done on them and 3 had similar wound union but 2 patients (0.94%) required surgical suture.
