Clinical Outcome of Suture versus Fibrin Glue for Pterygium Excision
Journal Title: Ophthalmology and Allied Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim of the study: To compare the clinical outcome of 8-0 vicryl suture versus fibrin glue in cases of pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft. Materials and Methods: A comparative prospective study was performed in forty eyes in forty patients in primary pterygium. The patient age ranged from thirty to sixty five years. They were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (20 eyes) who underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft using 8-0 vicryl and Group B (20 eyes) with fibrin glue. Mean follow up period was for six months. Clinical assessment was done on first, seventh, thirtieth day and at the end of three months and six months. Results: The average surgical time for suture group was 30.56 minutes and in fibrin glue group it was 15.52 minutes. Postoperative symptoms like pain and foreign body sensation were significantly less in fibrin group compared to the suture group. Recurrence rates were not statistically different between the two groups. Conclusion: Use of fibrin glue in pterygium surgery gives postoperative comfort and also reduces surgical time.
