[3 years' experience with concentrated autogenous fibrin glue in plastic ENT surgery].
The application of the fibrin tissue glue provides a better postoperative result, using skin grafts and flaps, because it provides an increased contact between wound area and graft, besides immediate revascularisation. A fibrin tissue glue was developed at the ENT Department of the University Clinic of Graz. Its fibrinogen is prepared from the patient's own blood, not from controlled donors as with the commercial fibrin glues. There is no danger of transmitting infectious diseases, or of immunereactions when using this autogenous tissue glue. Its production is easy and cheap. Three years of experiences with this concentrated autogenous fibrin glue in Plastic ENT Surgery are reported in this paper.
