The Use of Fibrin Sealant in Lid Surgery

  • Conference paper
Fibrin Sealant in Operative Medicine

Abstract

In ophthalmology the fibrin-glueing technique has been used in corneal, scleral, conjunctival and lens surgery. Fibrin sealing is also very suitable for ophthalmic plastic surgery, namely lid surgery. After excision of lid tumours skin defects can easily be closed with free full-thickness skin transplants. Optimal fixation of these autologous skin transplants can be achieved by fibrin glueing. The method is described and the results are reported.
