Abstract
Flaps and skin grafts are common part of plastic surgery. Complications noted with the flaps,skin grafts are seroma, hematoma underneath which causes failure of flaps and skin grafts. Fibrin glue promotes adhesion of the flaps, skin grafts in minutes. Evicel is a commercially available fibrin glue, which is used as a sealant materials and adherent material underneath the flaps. Fibrin glue was proposed to decrease the hematoma, seroma. In this article we highlight the role of fibrin glue in key stone flap in scalp electrical burn.
