Abstract

Introduction: Circumcision is a commonly performed surgery. Surgeons have become increasingly interested in the use of adhesive bonds. Recent advances have been made in the use of tissue glu in the circumcision. In this study, we used 2-octul cyanoacrylate for closing circumcision wounds and we have reported our experience. Material & Methods: this was a prospective non-prospective preliminary clinical study involving 30 patients where 2-octyl cyanoacrylate was used as a tissue adhesive for wound closure after formal formal circumcision at of our department. Result: In this study, there is significant less pain. There is 10% (3 cases) of complication are observed. The wound cosmesis score on 90th post-operative day is optimal except in one patient of woud separation. Conclusion: The comparison with criterions of time taken for skin closure
