Résumé
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral neuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. The presented study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes by comparing two techniques of wound closure following carpal tunnel surgery in subjects randomized to the application of tissue adhesive or sutures. From April 2022 to December 2022, a single-center randomized prospective trial was conducted at the University Hospital of Split in Croatia. The study participants consisted of 100 patients (70 females) aged 61.56 ± 12.03 years, randomly assigned to suture-based wound closure ( There were significant differences between glue-based wound closure and suture-based wound closure at 2-week and 6-week intervals after the surgery on the POSAS and cosmetic-VAS scales (better aesthetic effect with glue-based wound closure technique where noticed), with less postoperative pain at the same intervals. With the 12-week interval, differences in outcomes were insignificant. This trial demonstrated that cyanoacrylate-based adhesion mixtures might be possibly superior in the short term in terms of cosmetic appearance and discomfort compared to conventional skin suturing techniques for the closing of surgical wounds following open CTS decompression, but there was no difference between both procedures in the long term.

METHODS
From April 2022 to December 2022, a single-center randomized prospective trial was conducted at the University Hospital of Split in Croatia. The study participants consisted of 100 patients (70 females) aged 61.56 ± 12.03 years, randomly assigned to suture-based wound closure (
RESULTS
RESULTS
There were significant differences between glue-based wound closure and suture-based wound closure at 2-week and 6-week intervals after the surgery on the POSAS and cosmetic-VAS scales (better aesthetic effect with glue-based wound closure technique where noticed), with less postoperative pain at the same intervals. With the 12-week interval, differences in outcomes were insignificant.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
This trial demonstrated that cyanoacrylate-based adhesion mixtures might be possibly superior in the short term in terms of cosmetic appearance and discomfort compared to conventional skin suturing techniques for the closing of surgical wounds following open CTS decompression, but there was no difference between both procedures in the long term.
