Application of modified tissue adhesive in clinical treatment of facial trauma

Objective To analyze the clinical results of modified N-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate skin adhesive in the application of facial trauma. Methods A total of 687 patients had been analyzed retrospectively from August 2009 to July 2014, and all the wounds of these patients had not obtained the anatomical repositioning after pure manual reduction with tissue glue or pure stitches. Improved tissue adhesive method was as follows: point coating, decomposition and glue with stitches. Results Anatomical repositioning was obtained in 685 wounds of 687 cases with improved tissue adhesive method. Infection occurred in the wounds of 2 cases (0.29%), but no other complications occurred in all patients. During postoperative 3 months of follow-up, clinical results were satisfactory for all patients. Conclusions The improved method of tissue glue has fewer postoperative complications, beautiful and more satisfatory appearance, economic, safer and reliable in the application of facial trauma.
