J HAND SURG BR , 2001, vol. 26, n° 3, p. 264-265 Doc n°: 101371 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : DD861 - TRAITEMENT CHIRURGICAL - MAIN-DOIGTS Fifty patients underwent a variety of hand operations and were randomized for wound closure either with tissue adhesive (Indermil) or sutures. The two treatment groups had similar demographic characteristics and similar outcomes at the 2 and 6 week postoperative assessments which were performed by a designated tissue viability nurse blinded to the method of closure. Five minor wound dehiscences occurred: three in the adhesive group and two in the suture group. No infection occurred in either group. In conclusion, the study demonstrates tissue adhesive is as effective as suture in this type of hand surgery. Copyright 2001 The British Society for Surgery of the Hand.
