- Abstract
Histoacryl Blue (HAB), a tissue adhesive, has been shown to decrease laceration repair time, cause less pain to the child, eliminate the need for suture removal, and result in a similar short-term cosmetic outcome compared with conventional suturing. Reports suggest that poor correlation can exist between the short-term and long-term cosmetic outcomes for lacerations repaired by conventional suturing. Therefore, this study compares the long-term cosmetic outcome of HAB to conventional suturing for laceration repair in children.
