Protocol summary

Summary
Aim: The purpose of this study is to compare the fibrin glue prepared from Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran with a standard glue in pterygium excision surgery. Design: Randomized Clinical Trial Setting: Baqiyatallah Hospital, Ophthalmology Department, Tehran, Iran Major inclusion criteria: Patients who are suffering from pterygium associated with reduced visual acuity due to the proximity of pterygium to the visual axis; irregular astigmatism; and considerable ocular discomforts which are not responsive to the standard cares. Exclusion criteria: those who are suspected to ocular surface malignancies and/or keratoconjunctivitis; recurrent pterygium; systemic diseases (eg. diabetes, hypertension). Intervention: in the case group following pterygium excision surgery, conjunctival graft will be attached by umbilical cord blood fibrin glue, while in the control group, attachment will be accomplished by standard fibrin glue. Outcome measures: Complete loss of graft, partial graft dehiscence, graft hyperemia, subconjunctival hemorrhage, recurrence rate, post-operative pain and other ocular surface side effects.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The UCB-fibrin glue will be formulated in Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran. This is a prepared drop from the umbilical cord blood plasma of healthy mothers under sterile condition. In operation room, two drops of UCB-thrombin and one drop of UCB-Fibrinogen will be mixed and the resulting mixture will be put beyond the graft on its posterior position in a way that its limbus will be directed towards the limbus of the lesion
Category
Treatment - Surgery

2

Description
Control group: In control group, by using standard fibrin glue (Beriplast P, Germany), under company protocol, two drops of thrombin and one drop of fibrinogen will be used under the posterior surface of the graft in a way that its limbus will be directed towards the limbus of the lesion.
