| Summary: | Conjunctival graft has been frequently used in the field of ophthalmology. The frequently used methods to attach a conjunctival graft are suture technique and the use of fibrin glue. This study was to investigate albumin glue as an alternative to suture technique in attaching conjunctival grafts in rabbits. The aim of this study was to compare the conjunctival wound healing between albumin glue and suture technique in rabbit eye as a model. This was an experimental animal study that included 32 eyes (16 rabbits) conducted at PT. Bio Farma (Persero) and the Histology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran from March 2014 to July 2104. The subjects in this study were divided into albumin glue group and suture technique group. The examinations were comparison of conjunctival graft attachment and histologic microscopic examination to assess the wound gap. Data analysis was performed statistically using Mann-Whitney test for small sample. The statistical analysis results showed that the graft attachment was significantly better when using albumin glue (grade 4) compared to suture (grade 2–3) on day-1 after surgery (p=0.000). The wound gap was smaller using albumin glue (0-0,33 µm versus 5,33-14 µm; p0.0005) 10 minutes after surgery and 0 µm versus 0.33–4 µm, p 0,0005, on day-7 after surgery. In conclusion, graft attachment using albumi n glue is better and the wound gap is smaller when using albumin glue compared to the suture technique. [MKB. 2016;48(4):241–8] |
