Can I clean it up good and super glue it back together? haha that may sound stupid... but it sure saves a few $1000... no insurance... I mean back in time they didnt have docs so they used some sort of gule. And even now doctors are starting to use a type of super glue instead of stitches!

actually-the adhesive used by physicians is NOT superglue-it's called dermabond-it's a special adhesive that is designed to slowly evaporate off of skin as the wound heals. it can only be used on injuries that have straight edges-not on the type of injury you sustained...
b/c your wound is open and gaping-you need to have stitches placed. you run a high risk of infection if you do not.
stitches are not all that costly, especially if you look at what it MIGHT cost you if the wound gets infected and you have to be treated in the emergency room with i.v antibiotics. i've seen people go w/out treating their injuries and end up with an infection so bad, they have to be hospitalized, have surgery to clean out the area that has now become infected and receive i.v antibiotics-the risk just isn't worth it-trust me

The wound is old and the edges are inverted ie moved inwards. Such old wounds do not heal with any glue. The edges on both sides need to be trimmed to make it a fresh wound and the edges should be brought near to be sutured or glued.

depends on what your gluing. Your idea sounds good. Just don't glue any hole shut that need to be left open.

i strongly advise you not doing this at home you need to get to an acute care clinic and have them take alook at it make sure theres no infection and let them stitch are whatever it needs.
