Experimental use of fibrin sealant for skin graft fixation in mandibular vestibuloplasty.
A technique for securing skin grafts for vestibuloplasty with the Fibrin Adhesive System is described. This technique proved to be less time-consuming than the standard technique and provided secure, immobile stabilization of the skin grafts without hematoma formation.
