Abstract:
We performed experimental surgery with Tisseel in rabbit models, to determine whether Tisseeling can replace the classic suture technique. 30 albino rabbits were divided into two groups-one group was Tisseel group(15 rabbits) and the other was Vicryl group(15 rabbits). The superior rectus and inferior rectus were recessed and resected 5mm. Both groups were killed 2,4, and 6 weeks after the surgery respectively and the eyes were enucleated. The tensile strength and pathological findings were compared between the two groups. From this study, we found that Tisseeling had good tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction. Thus Tisseeling is considered to be good method in strabismus surgery.
