Abstract
Fibrin tissue adhesive (Tisseel) was employed in 12 cases of endolaryngeal laser microsurgery for one of the following two purposes : (1) to prevent web formation at the anterior commissure and (2) to close the wound following removal of stenosis or cyst or arytenoidectomy. The former was applied to seven cases and the latter, to five. The follow-up ranged from three days to 15 months. Of the seven cases in which web prevention had been intended, six developed no web and one was lost to follow up. Among the former six, three was followed up for more than one month while the follow-up of the other three was less than three weeks. The use of Tisseel for the purpose of wound closure was successful in all five patients.
