Abstract

In a prospective study, the Authors present an analysis on the use of surgical adhesives in the wounds treatment. In sixteen months we have treated 157 patients exclusively with a surgical tissue adhesive 2-octylcianoacrylate to repair traumatic wounds and surgical ones. In the Emergency Department were treated 110 patients (70%) with 2-octylcianoacrylate for skin incisions, lacerations and the length of lesion. We have paid attention to prepare regular wound edges, irrigation and debridement when appropriate to reduce skin tension at the site of laceration. Forty-seven patients (30%) whit surgical skin incisions for thyroidectomy, appendicectomy, hernio-plastic and safenectomy were treated with 2-octyl-cianoacrylate. In both groups of patients, the surgical adhesive has made possible a simple and quick wounds repair as well as good aesthetic results. No relevant complications have been arisen. The writers recommend the surgical adhesive in Emergency Department to abridge waiting time and to avoid the psychological impact caused by local anaesthesia, suture and medications especially in the treatment of all wounds types in children.
