O Uso de Cola de Fibrina Humana na Anastomose de Lesões Traumáticas Parciais do Nervo Facial The use of Human Fibrin Glue in the Anastomosis of Partial Traumatic Injuries of the Facial Nerve

Results lower or equal III on House-Brackmann scale were: 1 (8.3%) patient on group 1; 0 (0.0%) patient on group 2 and 15 (68.2%) of patients on group 3 (p>0.001). Discussion: The best surgery technique for partial lesion therapy of facial nerve is still questionable. The use of the fibrin glue has shown resulted similar to the suture with points. Conclusion: The use The use of human fibrin glue showed to be efficient in the accomplishment of these three different anastomosis types of the facial nerve. Among these 42 patients, the best achieved results were from total graft of facial nerve when comparing to others.
