Use of tissue glue for wound approximation reduces operative time and pain during Circumcision
Bleeding and wound infection are the most common complications of circumcision. Cyanoacrylate tissue glue has been claimed to have the advantage of being haemostatic, bacteriostatic and easy to use.Tissue glue has been examined extensively for its effectiveness in pediatrics, and the findings are good.
The use of tissue glue is tied with a reduction in pain during Pediatric Circumcision Wound Approximation, according to a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trial.
The findings of the study have been published in the Journal of Pediatric Urology
The purpose of this research was to examine the effectiveness of tissue glue compared to absorbable sutures for wound approximation in pediatric circumcision.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the English literature (1997-2021) on children who had circumcision using tissue glue and absorbable suture were done in line with the PRISMA criteria. RevMan 5.4 was used to perform the meta-analysis. The mean differences for continuous and dichotomous data are determined using inverse variance, and the odds ratio is calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel technique.
