PTERIGIUM AUTOGRAFT WITH NO SUTURES AND GLUE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 14
Abstract
During the past decade, the debate over the best approach to pterygium surgery has centered on whether surgeons should use sutures or fibrin glue to affix the conjunctival graft. Both approaches have their pros and cons in terms of such factors as surgical time, postoperative complications, cosmesis and recurrence1and now comes the latest twist: a novel approach in which the patient’s own blood is used for fixation. It’s simple, cheap technique but requires patience.
