Purpose Of Review: This article details the diverse urologic applications of tissue glues and hemostatic agents over the past 3 years in the management of genitourinary injuries, surgical wounds, and complications.
Recent Findings: Biosurgical agents designed to promote tissue adhesion and hemostasis are being increasingly employed across all surgical disciplines. Fibrin sealant is the most widely utilized biosurgical product.
Background: We developed a porcine grade 5 renal laceration damage control model to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of FloSeal gelatin matrix (Baxter Healthcare, Corp., Deerfield, Ill).
Methods: Ten commercial swine underwent celiotomy, contralateral nephrectomy, and cooling to 32 degrees C after a well-established hypothermia protocol to simulate a damage control scenario.
