[Saunders-plasty in case of hereditary teleangiectasia using highly-concentrated human fibrinogen for tissue-adhesion (author's transl)].
A report is given about the Saunders-plasty in a case of Morbus Osler. A 66-year-old female patient had been successfully treated with this method after a ligature of the external carotid artery had to be performed due to heavy bleeding from the teleangiectasia of the bilaterally mucous membrane of the nose. To apply the split thickness skin graft a method of tissue-adhesion, using highly-concentrated human fibrinogen was used. Human fibrinogen, thrombin and blood-clotting factor XIII make an effective physiological tissue glue.
