The present study was conducted in twelve clinically healthy female dogs for comparison of sub-cuticular sutures (6 animals) with tissue adhesive (6 animals) for closure of flank ovariohysterectomy skin incision. The repair time (mean±S. E.) for skin closure was slightly more in tissue adhesive group (106.66±20.43 seconds) as compared to sub-cuticular group (91.66±20.06 seconds). Wound infection was not present in any of the animals of both groups. Wound dehiscence was observed in 2 animals of each group. Cosmesis score of the tissue adhesive group was slightly better than that of the sub-cuticular group, indicating the usefulness of both the techniques in low tension area with smaller skin incisions.
