Abstract

In order to achieve more favourable anatomic and functionally more permanent position of the transmission materials, fibrin glue was applied in 68 patients undergoing different microsurgical interventions for the cure of inflammatory processes in the middle ear or improvement of conductive deafness of inflammatory or traumatic origin. Fibrin glue has shown to be equally suitable both in fixation of the biological materials - homografts and autografts and in fixation of alloplastic prostheses. The efficacy of preservation of the best position was demonstrated in all forms of direct collumelas, ossicular graft interposition, closure of the labyrinthine fistulas and reconstruction of the external attic wall.
