“…The scar in skin wound is obviously less than that with traditional suture. Chen et al (28) demonstrated that incisions closed with tissue adhesive have fewer early complications and a better cosmetic appearance. Amin et al (14) reported higher patient satisfaction levels in MITS with the use of tissue adhesives.…”

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness and cosmetic results of tissue adhesive or surgical staples in thyroidectomy through a supraclavicular incision.Methods: This was a prospective, randomized study of consecutive patients undergoing thyroidectomy by a supraclavicular approach. Eligible patients were randomized into two groups: one group had the incision closed with tissue adhesive (the experimental group) and the other with surgical staples (the control group). The main outcomes included operative time, early postoperative pain measured by visual Analog scale, incidence of wound dehiscence and infection, perceived cosmetic outcome, and overall patient satisfaction by using patient satisfaction Assessment form.Results: There were 151 consecutive patients assessed for eligibility, and 132 patients were enrolled over 22 months. The clinical characteristics of the patients in the two groups were similar. main outcomes were assessed in the first 24 h postoperatively, the first month, and the third month postoperatively. Operation time was longer in the experimental group (P = 0.027). mean visual Analog scale scores for pain were lower in the experimental group in the early postoperative period (P < 0.001). No patients developed surgical site infections or wound dehiscence. Lower scores for scar assessment and higher overall satisfaction levels at the first month after surgery were found in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups at the third month postoperatively in perceived cosmetic result (P = 0.052) or overall satisfaction (P = 0.059).

“…Sutures do, however, have some downfalls in that they require increased time and a skilled individual to accomplish good cosmetic outcomes. Over the past four decades, advances have seen other forms of wound closure methods emerge that address some of the disadvantages of sutures [4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

Abstract. 1-octyl cyanoacryalte is a main component of medical cyanoacrylate glues. As it rapidly polymerizes with water as an initiator, there are practical difficulties in designing simple synthetic routes. Any synthetic routes that evolve free nucleophilic products cannot, therefore be successful. Its synthesis too has not been reported in the open literature so far. Synthetic methods, which involve esterification of cyanoacetic acid with a chosen alcohol, polymerization by knoevenagel condensation and subsequent depolymerization, are applied to the synthesis of lower membered alkyl cyanoacryaltes in which the alkyl groups carry less than 8 carbons. We have synthesized 1-octyl cyanoacetate by a usual method involving p-toluene sulphonic acid as the catalyst. Its conversion to poly (1-octyl cyanoacrylate) is effected with 1, 3, 5-trioxane in a solvent free route, although paraformaldehyde has been suggested in few patents. Its FTIR spectrum confirmed its functional groups: Its -OH stretching yielded a broad band around 3400 cm -1 . Its depolymerization to high yield of 1-octyl cyano acrylate is under progress: during depolymerization p-toluene sulphonic acid, hydroquinone and phosphorous pentoxide are tried. We have avoided high temperature pyrolysis, as it is verified to degrade long alkyl chain.
