Closure of Laparoscopic Trocar Site Wounds with Cyanoacrylate Tissue Glue: A Simple Technical Solution

Abstract: Cyanoacrylate-based tissue glue has been widely used for many years around the world, and was recently approved for use in the United States, mainly for skin cuts and lacerations. Other applications were described, in different surgical situations. Although ideal for small, clean incisions, its use in laparoscopic surgery is currently limited. Over a year period, 100 patients with more 250 trocar site wounds had their wounds glued using histoacryl. Infection rate was extremely low (one case), and partial dehis… Show more

“…These agents are approved for external application only and are not to be used as internal tissue adhesive because of the reactions, toxicity [8] and carcinogenicity. In the maxillofacial field, it has been used for wound closure on extraction sockets, face, sinus perforation in sinus lift [9] gingivectomy, mucogingival flaps, biopsy, superficial oral ulcerations, recurrent multiple Aphthous ulcers and leukemia, and other sites in general surgery like axilla, lungs [10], hearts [11], scalp wounds [4], circumcision [12] and perineum, trocar sites [13], as a heamostatic means to control bleeding from skin graft [14], hair transplant donor sites, cleft lip repair [7,15] face lifts, blepharoplasty [16], brow lifts and other cosmetic surgeries and to do various anastomoses of intestine, arteries [11] and nerves [17].…”

“…9,10 CNA skin adhesive is increasingly being used in other surgical specialties such the trauma and emergency departments, as well as the pediatric, gynecology and general surgery departments. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] However, their use in neurosurgical wounds, where the thickness of the skin is greater, and where there has been a violation of the underlying structures (muscle, bone and dura mater), is a relatively new procedure. Our results, although limited because of the small number of patients involved in combination with the fact that only supratentorial wounds were considered, seem to demonstrate that the NCA used here is clinically effective and safe for the closure of cranial wounds.…”
