To Glue or Not to Glue? Analysis of Fibrin Glue for Split-thickness Skin Graft Fixation

摘要

Background:Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is a commonly used tool in the plastic surgeon’s reconstructive armamentarium. Fibrin glue (FG) consists of a combination of clotting factors and thrombin whose key properties include adherence and hemostasis. This preliminary study aimed to assess clinical outcomes and cost of FG for STSG fixation in a general wound reconstruction.
