The procedure requires the patient to undergo general anesthesia; the tonsils are completely removed and the remaining tissue surface is cauterized.

While in place, the adhesion barrier acts as a physical barrier to separate traumatized tissue surfaces so that they do not adhere to one another while the tissue surfaces heal.

Once the tissue surfaces heal, which is usually between 3 and 7 days, the barrier dissolves and is absorbed by the body.

TachoSil reacts upon contact with blood, other body fluids or saline to form a clot that glues it to the tissue surface.

Translational invariance means that if a beam is shifted to a new location on the tissue surface, its response is also shifted in the same direction by the same distance.

Proper pruning and training will increase air flow around the plant and thus reduces the drying time of external tissue surfaces.

Since the fungus grows on tissue surfaces rather than inside epithelial cells, topical applications of oils and other compounds are recommended.

The swirling, tissue paper-like surface of the print presents the grandfather as a ghostly resurrection.

The tissue surface and some of the tissue more deep to the probe dries out and forms a coagulum (a dry patch of dead tissue).

(Both hemolysins mentioned above are synthetized by extracellular bacteria, which infect specific tissue surfaces.)
