Randomized clinical trial comparing skin closure with tissue adhesives vs subcuticular suture after robotic urogynecologic procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Skin closure techniques during minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery is largely based on surgeon preference. The optimum technique would theoretically be safe, rapid, inexpensive, and result in good cosmetic appearance. Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (Dermabond) may be a comparable and safe option for port site closure as compared with subcuticular suture. In this randomized clinical trial, we hypothesized that operative time for skin closure would be less than subcuticular suture during robotic urogynecologic procedures.

Aim

To compare skin closure during robotic urogynecologic surgeries for tissue adhesives and subcuticular suture.

Methods

Fifty female subjects > 18 years of age undergoing robotic urogynecologic procedures were randomized to have p
