The popular wound closure methods for carpal tunnel decompression (CTD) include non-absorbable and absorbable sutures which have comparable results in clinical outcomes. However, these wound closure methods are recommended to keep a wound dry which may limit some ADLs. We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial that compares clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness in a skin closure following CTD between absorbable sutures plus a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (2OCA) versus non-absorbable skin sutures plus a waterproof dressing (NSPWD).
