Sylk Wound Dressing
Patients will have Silk bioprotein post-surgical dressing on one side of chest wall, and will have Dermabond/Prineo on the other side of chest wall. All patients will act as their own controls for this study. This means that all patients are both in the control group as well as the intervention group, given that these surgeries are bilateral in nature and one side of their chest will receive the interventional dressing and the other will receive the control dressing.
Dermabond/Prineo Dressing
Patients will have Silk bioprotein post-surgical dressing on one side of chest wall, and will have Dermabond/Prineo on the other side of chest wall. All patients will act as their own controls for this study.
