Summary

This trial is testing two different ways to close surgical ports. One is 2-Octylcyanoacrylate and the other is n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who are scheduled for elective laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. It's not suitable for those with allergies to the tissue adhesives being tested or individuals who may not be able to attend follow-up appointments, such as living out of state.
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of tissue adhesives: 2-Octylcyanoacrylate and N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, used in closing surgical port sites after abdominal procedures. Participants will be randomly assigned one of these methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from the adhesives could include skin irritation, allergic reactions at the application site, redness, swelling, or discomfort around the closed incision.
