简要总结
The goal of this study is to assess whether wound closure with skin adhesive or running stitches combined with skin adhesive will be superior to standard wound sutures. This is a split-wound study that will compare two methods of skin closure within one standard closure technique, thereby providing an internal control of running stitches within each wound. The investigators plan to measure outcomes by assessing for scar appearance, the incidence of wound opening, scar elasticity and subject satisfaction.

结局指标
主要结局
Wound Healing
时间窗: 10 day/3 weeks and 3 months
The primary outcome measure of this study will be wound healing. This outcome will be assessed by the blinded observers, subject ratings and Cutometer measurements of scar elasticity. Two double-blinded dermatologists will be asked to rate the scars according to the objective scar scales at the 10 day/ 3 week and 3 month follow-up exams.
次要结局
- Dehiscence(10 days/3 weeks and 3 months)
- Adverse Events(10 days/3 weeks and 3 months)
- Subject Satisfaction(10 days/3 weeks and 3 months)
