Abstract:
Inadvertent perforation of the globe, granuloma and hypersensitivity reaction were recognized complications of the strabismus surgery. We performed sutureless surgery with Beriplast in rabbit model to determine whether this technique can replace the classic suture technique and decrease it's complications. The authors measured maximum adhesion power and observed histopathologic findings at 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th week following recession of the rectus muscle with Beriplast. Maximum adhesoin power were increased with time such as 210, 300, 480 and 650gm at each week. Pathologically inflammatory and foreign body reactions were decreased with time, and collagen fibers were proliferated at muscle scleral contact area.
