- Brief Summary
Our study revealed that the supplementary tissue adhesive to subcuticular wound closure following CTD could improve patient satisfaction in the early postoperative period, enhance rapid ADL recovery, and reduce total wound-related costs despite increasing initial medical expenses. A tissue adhesive combined with subcuticular wound closure can be a reliable and cost-effective choice for waterproof skin closure following CTD
