What is the purpose of this trial?

Study Description: 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) use in neonatal circumcision are being practiced to prevent complications; however, no randomized controlled trials was ever done to assess efficacy and safety. This is a single-centered, randomized clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application in neonatal circumcision to prevent complication. Primary Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application versus control in neonatal circumcision to prevent post-procedural complication. Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess post-procedural pain score difference between with versus without 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application in neonatal circumcision 2. To assess parents' satisfaction and cosmesis post-neonatal circumcision with versus without 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) application. Endpoints: Primary Endpoint: Complication rates post-neonatal circumcision within 180 days with the following complication in specific or in composite ⦁ Bleeding requiring hemostatic intervention (suturing, dermabond application, silver nitrite application, pressure bandage) * Infection requiring antibiotic administration or wound drainage * Excess skin as assessed by parents satisfaction * Meatal stenosis * Adhesion requiring surgical correction. Secondary Endpoints: 1. pain score within 5 min and 30 minutes postneonatal circumcision using the FLACC score by parents and MBPS scale by a medical allied personnel. 2. Parents satisfaction as determined by a simple 10-score liked scale and cosmesis assessment scale within 24hrs and within 30 days post-neonatal circumcision. Complication rates detailed above in specific time points clustered according to (within 24 hrs, within 2 weeks, within 30 days, within 30 to 180 days). Study Population: 280 male neonates (140 each intervention groups) who are eligible for neonatal circumcision with no other medical co-morbidities. Intervention: 2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) 0.5ml/ sticks) topical application around post-circumcision site subcoronal area.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• 2-octyl cyanoacrylate

Trial Overview The trial tests the safety and effectiveness of using Dermabond (2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate) on the circumcision site in newborns. It compares babies treated with Dermabond to those who aren't, looking at complication rates and pain within six months post-procedure.
