An Observational Study on Adhesive Circumcision
Dr. Manjunatha Prasad D P, Dr. C. R. Basaraddi
Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of using N - butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive as an alternative to sutures for skin closure in circumcision procedures. Circumcision, commonly performed for medical and religious reasons, traditionally involves sutures that may lead to increased postoperative pain and potential infection. In this hospital - based, prospective observational study conducted at AL Ameen Medical College, patients undergoing circumcision for various indications were treated with tissue adhesive instead of sutures. Results indicate that adhesive skin closure offers several benefits, including shorter procedure times, reduced postoperative pain, and fewer wound complications, with enhanced cosmetic outcomes noted by the third month and significant improvement by the sixth month. The study suggests that N - butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive is a feasible, safer, and more comfortable alternative for circumcision skin closure, yielding better patient satisfaction and compliance.
