Clinical inquiries. How does tissue adhesive compare with suturing for superficial lacerations?
Tissue adhesives are effective and yield results comparable to those with conventional suturing of superficial, linear, and low-tension lacerations. The cosmetic outcome is similar; wound complications, such as infection and dehiscence, may be lower with tissue adhesives. Wound closure of superficial lacerations by tissue adhesives is quicker and less painful compared with conventional suturing...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of hair apposition technique compared with standard suturing in scalp lacerations.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We have previously described a prospective, randomized, multicenter, clinical trial comparing the hair apposition technique, a new technique of treating scalp lacerations with tissue adhesives, with standard suturing. We found the hair apposition technique to be a better technique for closing suitable scalp lacerations. In this study, we aim to compare the cost-effectiveness of ...
متن کاملUse of tissue adhesives in the management of paediatric lacerations.
The ideal method of wound closure in children who present to the accident and emergency department with lacerations, is painless, rapid, easy to perform, safe, and results in minimal scarring. Tissue adhesives have relatively recently been used as a “no needle” alternative to conventional suturing. This review reports on the development of tissue adhesives and analyses how close they are to thi...
متن کاملA randomized controlled trial comparing the hair apposition technique with tissue glue to standard suturing in scalp lacerations (HAT study).
STUDY OBJECTIVE We evaluate a new technique of treating scalp lacerations, the hair apposition technique (HAT). After standard cleaning procedures, hair on both sides of a laceration is apposed with a single twist. This is then held with tissue adhesives. HAT was compared with standard suturing in a multicenter, randomized, prospective trial. METHODS All linear lacerations of the scalp less t...
متن کاملA retrospective observational study comparing hair apposition technique, suturing and stapling for scalp lacerations
AIM Scalp lacerations are commonly encountered in patients presenting to emergency department with trauma. Lacerations are repaired with suturing, stapling, adhesive tapes, and tissue adhesives. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of suturing, stapling, and hair apposition techniques used in repair of scalp lacerations in patients who presented to emergency department with scal...
