Abstract

There are two major indications for Tissucol: 1. Stabilization of structures separated by the operative procedure or of graphs, in particular cartilaginous, whether placed along the crest of the nose or at the level of the columella in sagittal position between the mesials, or frontal position under their lower edges. 2. The construction of grafts. a) Mixing of bone powder and Tissucol provides "laminated" graphs which, when placed laterally and below iliac bone grafts, avoid the grooves which all too often form along the edges of such grafts. b) Coherent moulding graphs can be obtained using Tissucol with crushed cartilage (from septum or auricular concha).
