Abstract: Circumcision is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures, where optimal wound closure is crucial for healing and cosmetic outcomes. This comparative study of 50 patients evaluated isoamyl-2-cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive versus conventional suturing for circumcision wound closure. The adhesive group showed lower ASEPSIS wound scores and higher cosmetic scores on postoperative days 7 and 30 (p<0.05). Complication rates were also lower with adhesive (12%) than with sutures (20%). Isoamyl-2-cyanoacrylate proved to be an effective and cosmetically superior alternative to traditional suturing in circumcision.
