The objective of this study is to evaluate whether 2-octyl cyanoacrylate skin adhesive decreased the incidence of recurrent adhesions after circumcision. The investigators hypothesize that the incidence of recurrent adhesions will be decreased with use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate skin adhesive.
Secondary Objective(s) To assess parent satisfaction and comfort level after circumcision with use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate skin adhesive and compare to those undergoing circumcision without the use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate skin adhesive.
