Abstract :

Introduction: The present study was an attempt to compare tissue glue approximation with conventional suture method in terms of time consumed and incidence of infection in patients undergoing circumcision. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to compare tissue glue approximation with conventional suture method in terms of time consumed and prevalence of infection in patients undergoing circumcision Material and Methods: The present one year randomized controlled trial , A total of 70 patients divided into two groups of 35 each were studied. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study it may be concluded that, skin approximation by cyanoacrylate tissue glue reduces duration of surgery and results in lower complications compared to skin approximation by suture method.
