J Pediatr Surg. 1987 Sep;22(9):827-8. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3468(87)80647-4.

Abstract

A persistent lymphatic fluid leak from a femoral cutdown site in a neonate was successfully treated by a single application of fibrin glue. This technique resulted in rapid wound healing and is yet another use for this biologic adhesive.
