Comparison of Method for Skin Closure in Colorectal Cancer.

Compared to tissue adhesives and skin stapling devices, tissue adhesives are reported to have advantages in terms of wound infection and cost competitiveness. However, there have been no prospective randomized studies focusing on wound infection rates and cost competitiveness between skin stapling devices and tissue adhesives in colorectal cancer surgery. In colon cancer surgery, it is still unclear which skin suturing method has advantages such as lower postoperative wound infection rate and price competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes, including wound infection rates and cost-effectiveness, between two different wound closure methods for colorectal cancer.
