title: [Application of fibrin adhesive systems in the maxillary sinus as an alternative to tamponage].
abstract: During the past two years 22 patients with a chronic maxillary sinusitis have been operated in our clinic using a special catheter set for the application of fibrin glue instead of a gauze strip tamponade as a hemostypt. With 20 of these patients the results of this method were evaluated in a clinical investigation. All investigated sinuses were clinically, roentgenologically and sonographically asymptomatic, as were also sinuscopic controls with a part of these patients.
