In the past decade, cyanoacrylate glue has been progressively introduced into the clinical practice of venous access devices used for different purposes. Glue has been used to increase device stabilisation (to reduce the risk of catheter dislodgement), to seal the exit site (to both reduce local bleeding and decrease the risk of bacterial contamination) and to close skin incisions required for the insertion of tunnelled catheters or totally implanted venous ports. For many of these purposes, the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of cyanoacrylate glue has been demonstrated, while some indications are still controversial. This article reports on 10 years of clinical experience with cyanoacrylate glue in a large university hospital, and provides a narrative review of the scientific evidence on the benefits of glue in venous access that has been accumulating over the past decade.

Gonococcal keratoconjunctivitis (GKC) is an aggressive infection caused by , which can cause an acute, dreadful, ulcerative keratitis resulting in blindness if left untreated. We report a rare case of bilateral GKC complicated with left eye corneal perforation. A 20-year-old male presented with bilateral eye purulent discharge associated with vision loss over the left eye for two weeks prior to presentation.

The literature on minimally invasive techniques specifically targeting reflux in symptomatic femoral vein duplication (FVD) is limited. We present a rare case of symptomatic reflux in FVD, successfully treated with cyanoacrylate glue ablation under ultrasonographic guidance. Our findings suggest that the unique anatomy of FVD can be effectively addressed through percutaneous endovenous glue ablation, providing a technically safe and feasible alternative without open surgery.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study included 76 patients (average age 61,4±15,3 years; 69 [91 %] males, 7 [9 %] females) with primary uncomplicated unilateral inguinal hernias who underwent TAPP. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 - 52 patients in whom the AbsorbaTack fixation device was used to secure the mesh; group 2 - 24 patients in whom the LiquiBand FIX8 cyanoacrylate adhesive was used.
Safety Assessment of Cyanoacrylate Closure for Treatment of Varicose Veins in a Large-Scale National Survey in Japan.

Objective: Cyanoacrylate closure (CAC) is a minimally invasive technique for treating axial venous reflux. However, the incidence of serious adverse events (AEs) related to CAC is concerning. With an increasing number of patients receiving CAC and insufficient safety data in Japan, this study aimed to investigate the safety profile of CAC, focusing on the types and incidence of AEs.

Corneal alkali burns persist as a significant challenge in our field, often leading to a prolonged treatment course with various sight-threatening problems. This work, of utmost importance, aimed to apply the photo-tissue bonding technique (PTB) to weld the amniotic membrane (AM) to the corneal surface versus an amniotic membrane graft (AMG) and explore its safety in saving corneal protein against alkali burn.Methods Twenty-seven rabbits with an induced corneal ulcer using 1 mol/L NaOH solution.
