To compare postoperative adhesion formation following ovarian reconstruction with fibrin glue or the microsurgical suturing technique, an experimental study was performed on sixteen adult female rabbits. While left ovaries were reapproximated with 6–0 coated polyglactin using a microsurgical technique, right ovaries were reconstructed with fibrin glue following ovarian bisection. Four weeks lat...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to evaluate retrospectively both the results of using a mixture of bovine hydroxyapatite (BHA) and fibrin glue as the only grafting material in the floor of the maxillary sinus and the outcome of nonsubmerged implants placed later. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 50 consecutive patients (71 maxillary sinuses) were augmented with a mixture of BHA and f...

Dural sealants are an adjunct to obtain watertight closure after intradural procedures. This study aims to characterize the appearance on MR imaging of 3 commonly employed dural sealants: fibrin glue, PEGH, and BSAG. To this end, patients who underwent spinal intradural procedures that included the use of dural sealant during closure were identified retrospectively. Post-operative data on 15 pa...

BACKGROUND Pilonidal sinus (PS) disease of the sacrococcigeal region is an acquired condition resulting from penetration of shed hair shafts through the skin. Different types of operations have been described in the letterature. More recently fibrin glue has been used with succesfull. Aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of fibrin glue for the treatment of pilonidal sinus. PATIEN...
