Purpose
This project is a randomized, controlled trial investigating wound cosmetic appearance after repair of traumatic lid lacerations with three different approaches to skin closure: absorbable sutures, non-absorbable sutures, and tissue adhesive. Photographs will be taken at two intervals after repair and later blindly assessed using standard cosmetic assessment scales. The investigators hypothesize that cosmetic wound outcome will be equivalent in across all three treatment arms.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Non-absorbable suture skin closure
The superficial eyelid skin will be repaired with simple interrupted sutures with non-absorbable suture (6-0 polypropylene) after repair of any deep component of the laceration.
|
Procedure: Non-absorbable suture skin closure
The approach to repair will follow standard technique. If eyelid marginal component is present, margin repair will be performed with two 6-0 interrupted silk sutures: one at the gray line and one at the lash line. If the tarsus requires reapproximation, this will carefully be done using interrupted polyglactin vicryl sutures. The superficial skin will then be repaired with either non-absorbable sutures (6-0 polypropylene).

Experimental: Tissue Adhesive skin closure
The superficial eyelid skin will be repaired with layers of tissue adhesive (octyl-2-cyanoacrylate) after repair of any deep component of the laceration.

Detailed Description:
This project is a randomized, controlled trial investigating the cosmetic appearance after repair of traumatic lid lacerations with three different approaches to skin closure: absorbable sutures (surgical gut suture), non-absorbable sutures (polypropylene suture), and tissue adhesive (octyl-2-cyanoacrylate). The population will include patients presenting to Memorial Hermann Hospital requiring repair of traumatic lid lacerations. The study will include partial thickness, full-thickness, and margin-involving lacerations where first standard layered tarsal and marginal suture repair will be performed if necessary, and then the patient will be randomized to superficial skin closure with either polypropylene suture closure, surgical gut suture closure, or tissue adhesive closure. Subjects will be followed in an outpatient setting at 1 week and 1 month post-repair at which time standardized photographs will be taken and later assessed using two standardized appearance assessment tools: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Hollander Wound Evaluation Score (HWES).
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Senior) |
| Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age or older.
- Any laceration caused by trauma and involving the skin of the upper and/or lower eyelid.
- Must be able to understand and sign an informed consent when applicable and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act(HIPAA) form that has been approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or follow standard informed consent procedure of the IRB
Exclusion Criteria:
- Eyelid lacerations that include avulsion or missing eyelid tissue
- Patients with known hypersensitivity to octyl-2-cyanoacrylate or previous poor reaction to octyl-2-cyanoacrylate
- Eyelid lacerations resulting in necrosis or ischemia of tissue prior to repair
- Patients who demonstrate intoxication or mental status changes that would make them unfit to provide informed consent for repair
