Use of a fibrinogen-thrombin sponge in rhinoplasty.

CONCLUSION: The collagen patch TachoSil® is eligible for various indications in rhinoplasty. It is a useful material predominantly for nasal dorsum augmentation by sandwiching diced or solid cartilage in the collagen patch, leading to better graft fixation and precise profile shaping. At the same time, TachoSil® helps with blood control. Follow-up studies will be performed to assess the material's long-term behavior. PMID: 28939917 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
