Cosmetic Outcome Study of Lid Laceration Repair With Suture Versus Tissue Adhesive

Stopped: Recruitment difficulties

United States4 participantsStarted 2013-08

Plain-language summary

This project is a randomized, controlled trial investigating wound cosmetic appearance after repair of traumatic lid lacerations with three different approaches to skin closure: absorbable sutures, non-absorbable sutures, and tissue adhesive. Photographs will be taken at two intervals after repair and later blindly assessed using standard cosmetic assessment scales. The investigators hypothesize that cosmetic wound outcome will be equivalent in across all three treatment arms.
