[Isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate in atypical liver resection in rats and rabbits: surgical technic and histostructural observations (author's transl)].

The authors examined the behavior of isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate in connection with atypical liver resection in rats and rabbits, both in terms of immediate hemostatic results and in regard to possible tissue toxicity and degradability of the monomer through serial histological examinations of the cut surface over time.

[Isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate in resection of the upper pole of the kidney in rats and rabbits: surgical technic and histological followup (author's transl)].

The authors explored the possibility of using isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate, a fast-setting plastic adhesive, for controlling parenchymal bleeding after resection of the upper pole of the kidney in rats and rabbits. They describe the immediate results of this technic and histological findings elicited at various removes after experimental surgery.
