Histoacryl closure of eyelid skin grafts

N Shorr et al. Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg. 1991.

Abstract

Histoacryl is virtually an ideal tissue glue. It has found application in corneal surgery, oculoplastic surgery, as well as many other surgical fields. A clinical series of 18 patients requiring eyelid skin grafts is presented. Each of the patients had skin grafts placed with a combination of sutures and Histoacryl. No complications were encountered. The postoperative course and results were identical to the authors' experience with skin grafts closed with suture alone. The advantages of Histoacryl skin closure are discussed. Other uses of Histoacryl in oculoplastic surgery are also reviewed.
