Filter by:Fibrin glue is widely used in ophthalmology for homeostasis and tissue recovery. It is commonly used in ocular surface surgeries such as pterygium removal and conjunctival lesions excisions. In Müller's muscle-conjunctival resection (MMCR), sutures are used to reconnect the conjunctiva and Muller muscle, which causes discomfort and pain for the patient. The investigators' goal is to explore using fibrin glue instead of sutures in MMCR surgeries to shorten the procedure's length and alleviate patients discomfort and pain. This is especially important in the management of children suffering ptosis, where sedation and even general anaesthesia is required for sutured removal as a secondary procedure.
