Abstract:
Wound healing in non-perforating keratotomy with and without application of fibrin glue was studied in 28 rabbits. The following advantages were observed after filling the wound space with fibrin glue (Tissucol): (1) fibrin glue prevented epithelial invasion of the wound space; (2) fibrin stimulated fibroblastic activity and served as a matrix for fibroblasts and keratocytes; (3) fibrin accelerated wound healing and strengthened the scar formed.
