A Comparative Study of Tissue Glue and Vicryl Suture for Closing Limbal-Conjunctival Autografts and Histologic Evaluation After Pterygium Excision

Abstract

Our results showed that limbal conjunctival autografting is an effective surgical technique for the treatment of pterygium, and tissue glue was efficacious in securing the limbal conjunctival autograft in pterygium surgery. The use of tissue glue decreases patient symptoms during the postoperative period after pterygium surgery. Compared with sutures, tissue glue had no adverse effects on ocular tissue.
