Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of TachoSil patches in controlling Dacron suture-hole bleeding after abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair.
The aim of this study is evaluate the efficacy of TachoSil patches in controlling suture-hole bleeding after elective infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) replacement with Dacron graft. ⋯ For patients undergoing aortic reconstruction with Dacron grafts, TachoSil patches were found to be safe and effective for the control of suture-hole bleeding.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Stapled technique for acute thrombosed hemorrhoids: a randomized, controlled trial with long-term results.
This study was designed to compare stapled vs. conventional hemorrhoidectomy for patients with acute thrombosed hemorrhoids. ⋯ Stapled hemorrhoidectomy is safe and effective for acute thrombosed hemorrhoids. Similar to elective stapled procedure, emergency stapled excision has greater short-term benefits compared with conventional excision: diminished pain, faster recovery, and earlier return to work. Long-term results and satisfaction were excellent.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyCosmetic outcomes of absorbable versus nonabsorbable sutures in pediatric facial lacerations.
We sought to compare the long-term cosmetic outcomes of absorbable versus nonabsorbable sutures for facial lacerations in children and to compare the complication rates and parental satisfaction in the 2 groups. ⋯ The use of fast-absorbing catgut suture is a viable alternative to nonabsorbable suture in the repair of facial lacerations in children.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A historically controlled, single-arm, multi-centre, prospective trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MonoMax suture material for abdominal wall closure after primary midline laparotomy. ISSAAC-Trial [NCT005725079].
Several randomized controlled trials have compared different suture materials and techniques for abdominal wall closure with respect to the incidence of incisional hernias after midline laparotomy and shown that it remains, irrespective of the methods used, considerably high, ranging from 9% to 20%. The development of improved suture materials which would reduce postoperative complications may help to lower its frequency. ⋯ This historically controlled, single-arm, multi-centre, prospective ISSAAC trial aims to assess whether the use of an ultra-long-lasting absorbable monofilament suture material is safe and efficient.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized controlled trial of high-viscosity 2-octyl cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive versus sutures in repairing facial wounds following Mohs micrographic surgery.
High-viscosity 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (HVOCA) is a rapidly polymerizing liquid topical adhesive indicated for epidermal approximation of superficial lacerations and surgical wounds. Use of HVOCA in repair of facial wounds after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) has not been reported. ⋯ HVOCA tissue adhesive is cosmetically equivalent to epidermal sutures in the linear repair of facial wounds following MMS. This technique represents an additional option for Mohs surgeons.
