title: [Use of human fibrin glue (Tissucol) in the treatment of recurrent fistulas].
abstract: In this study, the treatment of either primitive or secondary abdominal relapsed fistulas with Human Fibrin Glue (Tissucol) is reported. Twelve patients with different types of fistulas were treated in day hospital with the above mentioned procedure. Apart from two patients, the good percentage of success obtained in a short period of time is stressed. Results show that such a technique may be favourably adopted, nevertheless a correct first surgical procedure is recommended.
