Abstract

Our experience in the application of so-called fibrin glue in 304 patients submitted to a variety of operations in plastic surgery from January 1981 to May 1982 is presented. The results seem to be much better than without this substance and afford greater comfort for the patient. Addition of factor XIII seems to be unnecessary.
