Fibrin glue assisted amniotic membrane graft reconstruction of conjunctival fornix and canthus following excision of conjunctival tumours.

Conjunctival tumors involving non-limbal locations, such as the fornix and canthus, are typically excised using a "non-touch" technique, often with a wide surgical margin. Reconstruction of these large defects can be difficult due to the contour of the ocular surface and are often complicated by shortening of the fornix, symblepharon formation, and restriction of eye movements. In our experience, the use of amniotic membrane grafts combined with the sealant properties of fibrin glue such as Tisseel® has improved our surgical outcomes during the reconstruction phase. We would like to highlight and describe our surgical technique using fibrin glue and squint hooks to aid amniotic membrane graft reconstruction for surgically challenging locations in the fornix and canthus following excision of conjunctival lesions, with excellent surgical outcomes.
