Abstract
BACKGROUND: Tisseel (Baxter Corp. Ontario, Canada) is a fibrin-based tissue glue that has been widely used to reduce wound drainage, achieve hemostasis, and decrease surgical complications. To date, Tisseel has not been evaluated in a randomized prospective trial for use in parotid surgery. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the use of Tisseel in parotidectomy decreases postoperative wound drainage, the duration of percutaneous drainage, the length of hospital stay, and the frequency of complications. METHODS: Sixty consecutive parotidectomy patients were randomized into two groups: a group treated with 2 cc of Tisseel prior to wound closure and a control group. Postoperative wound drainage was measured for all patients by blinded hospital staff. The duration of percutaneous drainage, duration of hospital stay, and incidence of complications at the 3-week follow-up were assessed. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference in total drainage volume (p < .02) and frequency of postoperative seroma (p < .05) was demonstrated between patients treated with Tisseel prior to wound closure and the control group. CONCLUSION: The use of Tisseel in parotidectomy patients prior to wound closure significantly decreases total drainage volume and the frequency of postoperative seroma.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
