title: An experimental study on the use of fibrin sealants in strabismus surgery.
abstract: Fibrin sealants were used in place of the classical suture materials in strabismus surgery. Classical recession operations were performed on the right eyes of ten albino rabbits, while the recessed anterior rectus muscles of the left eyes were fixed to the sclera with the tissue sealant. Better histopathological results were obtained with the fibrin sealant than with the classical sutures, but the functional results were worse.
