title: Fibrin glue for Gundersen flap surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the feasibility of fibrin glue in Gundersen flap surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective case series.
  
  
  METHODS
  Seven eyes of seven subjects who had undergone Gundersen flap surgery from 2009 to 2011 at the Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore.
  
  
  METHODS
  Review of case records for outcomes after Gundersen flap surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Surgical success was defined as achieving a stable ocular surface. Complications to be noted included flap retraction or exposure of underlying corneal surface.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Surgical success was achieved in all eyes with significant reduction in ocular surface inflammation. No retractions were noted and recovery was uncomplicated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fibrin glue application is a viable alternative to sutures in Gundersen flap surgery. It reduces surgical downtime, gives faster ocular surface rehabilitation, and offers similar outcomes to conventional conjunctival flap surgery.
