Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Coaptive film versus subcuticular suture: comparing skin closure time after posterior spinal instrumented fusion in pediatric patients with spinal deformity.
A prospective, randomized trial comparing skin closure time between coaptive film and subcuticular Monocryl sutures in children undergoing posterior instrumented spinal fusion. ⋯ Coaptive film is a time-saving option for skin closure following pediatric spine surgery with comparable cosmetic results and no difference in complication rates.
