Abstract
Fibrin tissue adhesive (Tisseel-kit) was applied in 31 cases of submucous resection and 23 cases of conchotomy. Clinical efficacy was evaluated in five categories, with the following results: 1) Fixation effects in submucous resection were recognized in 26 of 31 cases. 2) Hemostatic effects in conchotomy were recognized in 20 of 23 cases. 3) Tamponade-reducing effects were recognized in 26 of a total of 33 cases. 4) Early removal of tamponade was possible in 15 of a total of 33 cases. 5) Healing was promoted in 20 of a total of 33 cases. These results indicated that fibrin tissue adhesive was useful in submucous resection and conchotomy, and promoted postoperative healing.
