title: The use of fibrin glue in mucous membrane grafting of the fornix.
abstract: We report using a fibrin-glue tissue adhesive in place of sutures to place a full-thickness mucosal graft into a defect created in a scarred fornix of an ophthalmic socket. This technique minimizes tissue trauma and aids hemostasis and healing.
