INTRODUCTION The endoscopic fibrin glue or platelet-rich fibrin glue (PRFG) injection is an easy, safe and effective technique for the fistula. So far, the use of fibrin glue has been limited to selected cases. CASE REPORT Our case is a three years old male child with a neck trauma resulting in a Esophago-Cutaneous fistula after a 3 month period of follow up we decided to use PRFG for this le...

Introduction: One of the most common complications following total laryngectomy is pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF). Various methods have been proposed to treat this disorder in recent studies, including a range of simple and conservative treatments to more aggressive therapies, such as various surgical procedures. One of the most innovative and least developed methods is the use of plasma...

Despite the development of new alternative embolic agents, the endovascular treatment of brain arteriovenous malformations continues to frequently require the use of cyanoacrylic glue, especially in situations where particulate or sclerosing agents are ineffective, such as when flow is very rapid or fistulous. Because isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate (IBCA), the most commonly used embolic glue, is no l...

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...

BACKGROUND New sphincter-saving approaches have been applied in the treatment of perianal fistula in order to avoid the risk of fecal incontinence. Among them, the fibrin glue technique is popular because of its simplicity and repeatability. The aim of this review is to compare the fibrin glue application to surgery alone, considering the healing and complication rates. METHODS We performed a...

BACKGROUND The hang-back surgery is a useful technique in the field of strabismus surgery. The aim of this study is to determine the stabilizing effects of fibrin glue as an adjuvant to hang-back surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four (4)-mm hang-back recessions of the superior rectus muscle was performed in 32 eyes of 16 rabbits. Only in the left eye of the 16 rabbits, fibrin glue was applied b...

In this experimental study on small animals (Wistar) we evaluated the effectiveness of local protection methods (application of fibrin glue) and combined fibrin glue and EGF on colon anastomosis healing – prevention of dehiscence. Ninety experimental animals, with segmental left colonic resection in general anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups, each of 30 animals. In the control group, termin...

[1] Recent research documents that the widely accepted generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) method for describing forecasting precision and the impact of parameter uncertainty in rainfall/runoff watershed models fails to achieve the intended purpose when used with an informal likelihood measure. In particular, GLUE generally fails to produce intervals that capture the precision ...

Background: Anastomotic leaks constitute one of the most serious intraoperative complications and although many studies have been devoted to nding a solution for this problem, none of them has yet been able o er a decisive, successful method. In this study, the ability of brin glue and adhesive lm to repair anastomotic leaks in an experimental model was compared. Materials and methods: e sample...

PURPOSE To assess the rate of recurrence and complications after primary pterygium removal with conjunctival autograft using fibrin tissue adhesive. Secondarily, to compare these results with a retrospective series that underwent the same surgery using sutures. METHODS A hundred and six eyes of 100 patients who underwent surgery with fibrin glue were prospectively studied, while 58 eyes of 51...
