Hand and upper-extremity transplantation restore severely damaged limbs that cannot be repaired with conventional surgical techniques. Over the past 20 years, more than 200 vascularized composite allotransplantations have been performed worldwide, among them 7 were cases of sex unmatched hand transplants.

- Graft fixation is crucial for successful skin grafts, and fibrin glue might be a perfect solution because it sticks quickly and is derived from human sources.
- The study assessed the effectiveness of fibrin glue in skin grafts by examining surgical time, complications like hematoma/seroma, engraftment rates, and wound closure by day 14.
- Results showed that using fibrin glue led to better graft adhesion and reduced surgical time, proving it to be safe and as effective as traditional methods without serious side effects.*
