The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of skin glue--Dermabond in wound repair after laparoscopy intervention. It is a new adhesive with the physical properties that differ from other cyanoacrylate adhesives and give a significantly greater tensile strength. It was proved to have similar cosmetic results in the repair of lacerations and incisions when compared with those closed with monofilament sutures. ⋯ There was no difference in healing found in this study between the two examined groups. The only significant correlation outcome measures was in a very good cosmetic effect in the group where skin glue (p = 0.0231) was applied. The authors suggest high usefulness of Dermabond glue in good wound closure and correct healing.
