Long-term persistence of carrier-bound fibrin sealant (TachoSil) following abdominal surgery: a decade-long follow-up study.

This study analyzed the long-term effects of carrier-bound fibrin sealant (CBFS) following abdominal surgery by tracking patients for years post-application. From 2006 to 2022, patients who underwent this procedure were contacted via telephone.
