INTRODUCTION Fibrin glue is used commonly during cardiac surgery but can behave as an intracardiac abnormal foreign body following surgery. There have been few such cases reported, and they were typically noticed only because of the resulting catastrophic cardiac conditions, such as valvular malfunction. We report a case where, for the first time, transesophageal echocardiography was used to de...

BACKGROUND Facial bone reconstruction has been a challenge for oral and maxillofacial surgeons for a long time. Recently, some studies have reported the use of stem cells in facial reconstruction to achieve osteogenesis. However, to ensure that stem cells remain in the recipient site, a biocompatible carrier is needed to transfer the stem cells. Fibrin glue has been shown to promote hemostasis ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of hematoma formation in drainless deep-plane rhytidectomy and compare it with the rate using the same technique with the use of fibrin glue. METHODS This is a retrospective review of 605 patients (78 male and 527 female) who, over a 6-year period, underwent deep-plane face-lift surgery (n = 544) or lateral superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)ectomy (n ...
