In a series of 82 consecutive personal cases of rhytidectomy, a two-component tissue adhesive was used to glue the cheek-skin down to its underlying tissues. The use of most of the sutures in front of the ear, in the visible area, could be spared by this technique. The diminished (or absent) postoperative swelling and the reduction of secretion in the first 24 hours were most impressive. Some operating time can be saved as well and the comfort of the patient is remarkably increased over the healing period. Postoperative complications were entirely absent and the primary results most pleasing. Nothing can as yet be said regarding long-term results, since the time of 18 months is too short for any such statement. The comparatively small additional costs incurred seem very much worthwhile for these selective operations.
在连续82例个人除皱手术病例中，使用了一种双组分组织粘合剂将脸颊皮肤粘贴至其下方组织。通过该技术，可以省去耳部前方可见区域的大部分缝线。术后肿胀减轻（或无肿胀）以及术后24小时内分泌物减少的效果最为显著。还可以节省一些手术时间，并且在愈合期间患者的舒适度显著提高。术后完全没有并发症，初步效果非常令人满意。由于18个月的时间对于做出任何此类陈述来说太短，因此目前还无法谈及长期效果。对于这些选择性手术而言，所产生的相对较小的额外成本似乎非常值得。
