Brief Summary

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

Skin adhesive (Octyl cyanoacrylate - LIQUID BAND©) is increasingly used instead of suture for sutures on the superficial plane of the skin.

It is frequently used in children, in traumatology and in plastic surgery. Several randomized trials have shown satisfactory results of the glue compared to suture in terms of infections and scar dehiscence, and aesthetics after abdominoplasty and mammoplasty.

In the field of port-a-cath® placement in oncology:

* The use of skin adhesive can save substantial nursing time, which makes it possible to consider the transition of this technique into routine patient management. Potential benefits include nurses managing large numbers of patients in day hospitals, and patients no longer needing a nurse for suture removal.
* Cancer and chemotherapy toxicity can alter patients' body image and view of themselves. The presence of a scar can be traumatic for some patients. The second goal of this study is to test whether the use of glue can improve the appearance of the scar following port-a-cath® placement, an area in which there are divergent results.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Skin adhesive

The scar is closed in 2 planes. The subcutaneous plane is closed with an absorbable 3/0 vicryl-type thread, the cutaneous plane is closed by applying skin adhesive. A drying time of 25 seconds is necessary to obtain a satisfactory seal.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Skin Adhesive procedure

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The scar is closed in 2 planes. The subcutaneous plane is closed with an absorbable 3/0 vicryl-type thread, the cutaneous plane is closed by applying skin adhesive. A drying time of 25 seconds is necessary to obtain a satisfactory seal.

Standard suture

The scar is closed in 2 planes. The subcutaneous plane is closed with an absorbable 3/0 vicryl-type thread, the cutaneous plane is closed with the same thread with a subcutaneous stitch.

Group Type OTHER

Standard suture procedure

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The scar is closed in 2 planes. The subcutaneous plane is closed with an absorbable thread of the 3/0 Vicryl-type, the cutaneous plane is closed with the same thread with an subcutaneous stitch.
