Opsite skin closure without skin suture was compared with subcuticular Vicryl in a randomized trial in children undergoing day-case surgery for hernia, hydrocele or undescended testis. Ninety-nine groin closures were randomized, 47 to Opsite and 52 to subcuticular Vicryl. There was no difference in the duration of operation or in the cosmetic appearance of the wounds. Complications were all minor and similar in both groups. Opsite alone is suitable as a skin closure for the groin wounds in children.
