Cyanoacrylate Glue Casting for Periocular Skin Grafts
Functional Benefits
Skin grafts and reconstructive flaps are often necessary after eyelid cancer removal, trauma, or reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Mancini developed a cyanoacrylate glue casting technique to stabilize delicate periocular skin grafts during healing.
Instead of relying solely on sutures, this technique uses medical adhesive to create a protective cast over the graft, helping it remain stable during the critical healing phase.
The technique was described in:
Jackson CM, Nguyen M, Mancini R. (2017) Use of Cyanoacrylate Glue Casting for Stabilization of Periocular Skin Grafts and Flaps.
Who May Benefit from This Approach?
Patients undergoing eyelid reconstruction after tumor removal, trauma, or severe eyelid damage may benefit from this technique designed to improve graft success.
