摘要
The safety of wound closure with tissue glue after surgery has been well established. The efficacy of its use in circumcision is poorly documented. The aim of this study was to carry out a comparative study of tissue glue versus suture closure after circumcision. The duration of the operative procedure, pain score, cosmesis and postoperative complications were evaluated. There were no complications in either group. There was no statistically significant difference in the pain score in both groups. However the mean time taken for tissue glue was 16.6 minutes and the mean time taken for sutures was 23.7 minutes. (p < 0.0001) which was statistically significant. The cosmetic appearance was found to be superior in the tissue glue group as there were no suture marks on the join of the shaft skin and foreskin base.
