Abstract:
The study is based on the fact that cyanoacrylate is being used for surgical purposes as a tissue adhesive Purpose: To determine the feasibility of using cyanoacrylate in the repair of periorbital wounds and evaluate the cosmetic appearance Methods: Histoacryl was applied evenly to dried wound edges and held in place for minutes until bonding is obtained. Patients were given oral antibiotics and ATS. Documentations were done Results: Repair of wounds with cyanoacrylate yielded good cosmetic results Conclusion: Use of tissue adhesive - cyanoacrylate - is found to be time saving; minimizes discomfort for patients and with good cosmetic outcome.
