| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To evaluate efficacy and clinical and histopathological tolerance of a new acrylic tissue adhesive (ADAL-2) compared to sutures (Vicryl) and other available tissue adhesives (Tisuacryl) for their use in conjunctival surgery. Methods: This was an experimental study performed in New Zealand albino rabbits with conjunctival dissection and closure by ADAL-2. Groups treated with Vicryl and Tisuacryl were compared regarding efficacy, clinical, and histological tolerance at 7, 28 and 42 days. Results: Efficacy was similar in the three methods of conjunctival repositioning evaluated. Tolerance to ADAL-2 was similar to that of Vicryl suture and tolerance to ADAL-2 was superior to that to Tisuacryl. Histopathological results with ADAL-2 and Tisuacryl are similar. Conclusions: ADAL-2 tissue adhesive is an efficient and very well tolerated alternative for conjunctival closure in ophthalmic surgery. |
