Surgical decompression is successful in improving sleep and quality of life, but the effect of tissue adhesives as a material for wound closure has not been investigated. The objective of the study was to evaluate sleep disorders and health-related life quality by comparing two methods for wound closure after carpal surgery in participants who were randomized to receive tissue adhesives or transcutaneous sutures. Methods: The subjects, aged 61.56 \u00b1 12.03 years, were randomized to receive either tissue adhesives (n = 50) or suture-based wound closure (n = 50) using the Glubran Tiss 2\u00ae skin adhesive after subcutaneous running sutures. The outcomes were assessed during the 12-month postoperative follow-up. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PQSI) and Insomnia Severity Scale (ISI) were used for the sleep disturbance assessment, and for the health-related quality of life assessment, the total SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Survey) was used. Results: The PQSI, ISI, and SF-36 were not statistically different between groups during the follow-up, except in the ISI score two weeks after surgery (9.40 \u00b1 1.18 in the tissue adhesive group vs. 9.96 \u00b1 1.09 in the suture-based group, p = 0.008). The PQSI, ISI, and SF-36 scores for all the subjects and groups were persistently improved at all the follow-up intervals after surgery. The total SF-36 score increased 12 months after surgery (49.84 \u00b1 5.85 vs. 82.46 \u00b1 5.68, p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: Cyanoacrylate-based adhesion material can be used for wound closure after open CTS decompression as a standard transcutaneous suture, and both techniques equally lead to improved sleep and life quality. The possible advantages of tissue adhesives include a faster reduction in the ISI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/clinpract14020042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,26]],"date-time":"2024-03-26T13:44:00Z","timestamp":1711460640000},"page":"546-555","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Influence of Wound Closure Techniques after Surgical Decompression in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on Sleep Disturbance and Life Quality: A Prospective Comparison of Surgical Techniques"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Veridijana","family":"Sunjic Roguljic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery with Burn Care Division, Surgery Department, University Hospital of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luka","family":"Roguljic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics and Traumatology Division, Surgery Department, University Hospital of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ivana","family":"Jukic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Division, Internal Medicine Department, University Hospital of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"},{"name":"University Department of Health Studies, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vedran","family":"Kovacic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Emergency and Intensive Medicine with Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology, Internal Medicine Department, University Hospital of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"},{"name":"School of Medicine, University of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Fnais, N., Gomes, T., Mahoney, J., Alissa, S., and Mamdani, M.
