Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cosmesis postoperatively is an important consideration for both patients and surgeons and consequently surgeons have become increasingly interested in replacing conventional sutures by means of adhesive bonds for the closure of skin wounds.

Therefore the investigators are using two different close techniques for laparoscopic wounds. These are; 1. sutures with steri-strips and 2. adhesive bond.
