The authors report the indications for and methods of application of fibrin glue in reconstructive microsurgery of the middle ear. On the basis of 180 interventions, they describe in detail the use of fibrin glue in myringo- and tympanoplasty for correct fixing of grafts. Furthermore, they illustrate the particular use of fibrin glue in reconstruction of the incudostapedial joint, in covering eroded areas of the lateral semicircular canal and in one case of perilymph gusher.
