PURPOSE To evaluate the results of sutureless amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation using fibrin glue for reconstructing corneal surfaces with partial limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). DESIGN Retrospective noncomparative interventional case series. METHODS Eleven eyes of nine patients that had LSCD with 120 degrees to almost 360 degrees of limbal involvement underwent superficial keratec...

BACKGROUND It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results with the traditional treatment of large-area skin defects and deep burns. OBJECTIVE To test the treatment effect of an active dressing film made of a mixture of fibrin glue and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for repairing burn wounds on the skin of rats. METHODS Two scald wounds were made on the back of each rat. A total...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although often asymptomatic, enlarging sacral arachnoid cysts can also cause significant discomfort. These symptomatic sacral arachnoid cysts require specific treatments to facilitate local decompression. The main drawback of the surgical managements is the high risk of recurrence and complications. To decrease risks, we had been attempting to seek a simple and safe metho...

Aim. Anastomotic leakage after colon anastomosis is the most frequent and most feared complication with its highest mortality rate. In this study, we aimed to expose the impact of performing fibrin glue on sutured colocolic anastomosis, in the presence of experimental peritonitis, on anastomosis safety. Method. In this experimental study, the rats were divided into two groups as control group (...

Purpose: To compare recurrence rate, complications, and biomicroscopical findings after conjunctival autograft pterygium surgery with the use of a fibrin glue (Tissucol Duo®, Baxter AG, Vienna, Austria) or suture (7-0 silk). Methods: Patients with nasal pterygium were included in two groups of conjunctival autograft surgery. In 9 of them the graft was sutured to the surrounding conjunctiva and ...

Objective- Our point is to determine if the treatment of the 3rd degree burn wounds makes any difference if sprayed cultured autologous keratinocyte used alone or in combination with Fibrin glue. Design- Animal experimental study. Animals- 30 male Wistar rats. Procedures- Thirty male Wistar rats were selected and their keratinocytes were isolated and cultured from small skin biops...

AIM To evaluate the convenience in terms of recurrence and fecal incontinence rates of fibrin glue versus surgical treatment in the management of fistula-in-ano. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized studies (CCTs) comparing conventional surgical treatment versus fibrin glue treatment in patients with perianal fistulae were identified using a predefined ...

Postoperative air leaks remain a major cause of morbidity after lung resection. This study evaluated the effect of a combination of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet and alginate gel on pulmonary air leaks in rats. Four pulmonary sealing materials were evaluated in lung injury: fibrin glue, combination of PGA sheet and fibrin glue, alginate gel, and combination of PGA sheet and alginate gel. With t...

Background: The contracted socket is caused by fibrosis leading to the shortening of orbital tissue. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) a profibrotic in postoperative wound healing. novel option prevent use fibrin glue. This study aims evaluate role glue reducing VEGF expression cells that cause post-socket surgery scar. Methods: An vivo experimental using an animal model was conducted. ...
