Primary outcome
Position of the scleral indentation;
Redness of the conjunctiva;
Baring of the explant;
Subjective assessment of complaints.
Secondary outcome
NA.
Background summary
To achieve scleral indentation, episcleral explants are traditionally fastened
on the sclera by sutures. Sutures, however, carry the potential risk of
perforation which may result in severe complications. Octyl-cyanoacrylate
(Dermabond) has been used in patients with a thin sclera (a strong incentive
for tissue adhesive rather than sutures). Our impression was that the explant
remained securely attached and that follow-up findings were normal.
Study objective
Evaluation of the hypothesis that outcomes of Dermabond tissue adhesive and
conventional suturing for securing episcleral explant in retinal detachment
surgery are equivalent.
Study design
Retrospective case series.
Study burden and risks
Burden is limited to a single extra visit which will take about 30 minutes.
Risks are negligible.
