To describe a novel technique for sutureless pterygium surgery using ReSure(®) tissue sealant.
In this retrospective observational case series, we describe a modified procedure for pterygium excision followed by amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) adhered to the corneal and conjunctival defects using ReSure tissue sealant.
Nine eyes of seven patients (age range: 28-80 years, 4 females and 3 males) underwent pterygium removal with AMT followed by adherence of tissue to the conjunctival edges with ReSure. No issues with transplant dislocation or failure and no intra- or postoperative complications were noted. No recurrences were noted during the follow-up period.
ReSure may be considered as a potential sealant to adhere AMT to defective corneal and conjunctival tissues in sutureless pterygium surgery.
描述一种使用ReSure(®)组织密封剂进行无缝线翼状胬肉手术的新技术。
在这个回顾性观察病例系列中,我们描述了一种改良的翼状胬肉切除手术,随后使用ReSure组织密封剂将羊膜移植(AMT)粘附于角膜和结膜缺损处。
7例患者的9只眼(年龄范围:28 - 80岁,4例女性和3例男性)接受了翼状胬肉切除联合AMT手术,随后使用ReSure将组织粘附于结膜边缘。未发现移植移位或失败问题,也未观察到术中或术后并发症。随访期间未发现复发情况。
在无缝线翼状胬肉手术中,ReSure可被视为一种将AMT粘附于角膜和结膜缺损组织的潜在密封剂。
