Autologous fibrin glue in full-thickness skin grafting.

Full-thickness skin grafts can be anchored to the recipient site using fibrin glue made from the patient's own blood and commercially available thrombin and epsilon aminocaproic acid. The technique works well for small grafts on irregularly contoured sites where suture fixation of a graft would be technically difficult. Full-thickness skin grafts anchored with autologous fibrin glue have been uniformly successful in 50 patients followed for a minimum period of four months.
