Brief Summary:
To compare skin closure via subcuticular suture versus tissue adhesive (Dermabond) in urogynecological robotic surgeries. The primary outcome is incision cosmesis at the 12 week follow up visit. Secondary outcome is the operative time between the two methods of closure.
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is compare skin closure via suture versus tissue adhesive (Dermabond) in urogynecological robotic surgeries. The primary outcome is incision cosmesis. Therefore, if the tissue adhesive is cosmetically comparable to that of sutures, that will be reason to use tissue adhesives over traditional sutures. In these surgeries, there are five to six port sites (compared to fewer for usual laparoscopic procedures) and the procedures are lengthy procedures (average duration about 300 minutes as per recent AUGS/ACOG committee opinion), so if the investigators can show significant time reduction for closure, that should reduce operative time and costs. To the investigators' knowledge, this will be the first study of its kind to make this comparison for urogynecologic robotic procedures.
