Abstract | INTRODUCTION: METHODS: RESULTS: Both study arms revealed significantly faster closer times with N-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate [9/10 in part 1 (P = 0.022) and 10/10 in part 2 (P = 0.002)]. Scar width difference did not reach statistical significance, and there was no difference in surgeon, independent reviewer, or patient satisfaction among the materials. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate a decreased time required for wound closure using N-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate compared to both suture and octyl cyanoacrylate regardless of incision type with no significant difference in scar width or satisfaction ratings.
