Summary

The purpose of the study is to look at which nonpermanent superficial closure method, cyanoacrylate tissue glue or fast absorbing gut suture, leads to a better cosmetic and functional outcome in repairs of facial wounds after Mohs surgery.

DEVICE

Cyanoacrylate tissue glue versus Fast absorbing gut

All wounds will be closed using a linear, bilayered closure method, where the buried intradermal absorbing suture (5-0, Polysorb) will be placed along the length of the incision, consistent with standard surgical procedure. Only patients with wounds with a length of 3cm or greater will be enrolled. Each wound will be measured, and the length divided in half. Half of the surgical wound will be randomly selected (by coin toss) for epidermal reapproximation with cyanoacrylate, whereas the other half will be repaired with 6-0 fast absorbing gut suture in standard running fashion.
