Evaluation of adhesive N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for recurrent pterygium

The study was carried on 40 surgeries which were done for recurrent pterygium. The following different techniques of N-butyle-2-cyanoacrylate application were used a. Limbo-scleral for 15 eyes b. scleral application for 15 eyes. C. No adhesive substance was used in the last 10 eyes as a control. The recurrence rate was high in the cases in which we did not use the adhesive substance. With the adhesive substance the incidence of recurrence was less with the cases of multiple application technique and for 14 days duration

Corneal astigmatism after glaucoma surgery

Different techniques of subscleral trabeculectomies were done, using different shapes of scleral flaps, in comparison with peripheral iridectomy, and iridenecliesis to study the incidence of postoperative astigmatism, in glaucoma surgery. The incidence of corneal astigmatism was lower in peripheral iridectomy and subscleral trabecuIectomies, specially triangular flaps, in comparison with iridencleisis

Tarsal reconstruction

A new operation for vertically short upper lid is dissuced. Twenty one upper lids from 16 patients were operated upon, five were bilateral and 11 unilateral. All lids showed marked vertical shortening, 17 had acccompanying ectropion trichiasis which becomes worst on looking upward, 5 had moreover notching of lid margin. All cases had been subjected previously to surgical interferences, before presentation with heir conditions. The cause of this lid disorder is fully discussed. Its repair was achieved by tarsal reconstruction using cartilage grafts, fresh and stored. The technique of surgical proceedure is explained and results are discussed
