Squamous Cell Carcinoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Fast Absorbing Gut Suture Versus Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesive in the Epidermal Closure of Linear Repairs Following Mohs Micrographic Surgery
The purpose of the study is to look at which nonpermanent superficial closure method, cyanoacrylate tissue glue or fast absorbing gut suture, leads to a better cosmetic and functional outcome in repairs of facial wounds after Mohs surgery.
Cyanoacrylate is a rapidly polymerizing topical adhesive commonly used as an alternative to
traditional sutures. Both cyanoacrylate and fast absorbing gut suture eliminate the need for
suture removal which can represent a significant savings in patient and staff time as well
as related healthcare resources. Both cyanoacrylate and fast absorbing gut suture are
currently routinely used for epidermal closure at Yale following Mohs micrographic surgery.
Physician preference currently dictates which epidermal closure method is chosen for a given
surgery.
Cyanoacrylate has been reported to decrease trauma to the epidermal edges, minimize suture
tract marks in surgical scars, and decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction to suture
material. Cyanoacrylate, however, does not allow for wound eversion.
Wound eversion minimizes the risk of a depressed scar from tissue contraction during
healing. As with all sutures, fast absorbing gut suture allows for wound eversion which is
reported to maximize the likelihood of a good epidermal approximation. On the other hand,
fast absorbing gut suture degrades by proteolysis which can result in an inflammatory
reaction. Any inflammatory reaction on the skin while healing can affect the final cosmetic
outcome (ie. post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
A recent article (Tierney 2009), reported that tissue adhesive may not be as effective in
achieving optimal cosmesis as fast absorbing gut for defects on the trunk and extremities.
However, we would like to study these two methods for the repair of facial wounds, which are
in low tension areas as compared to trunk and extremities. Therefore, it is unknown exactly
which of these two method is better than the other in epidermal closure of facial wounds
follow Mohs micrographic surgery.
