[Use of fibrin glue in gynecologic operations].

Anastomosing of the uterine horns in 98 experimental rats has employed a fibrin glue FK-1 (USSR) and Beriplast (FRG) or microsurgical techniques in a control group. Intactness and sealing of the anastomoses and the incidence of pelvic adhesions were assessed at 5 minutes, 1 hour and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 days following the operation. The fibrin glue Beriplast was used clinically in 6 patients during reconstructive-plastic operations.

[Use of fibrin glue in pulmonary surgery].

The article deals with the experimental data on the use of the "Beriplast" (GFR) and phi K-1 (USSR) fibrin glue (FG) for providing hemostasis and hermetization of the resected surface of the lung. The results were evaluated during the operation by the method of pneumopressure and by means of morphological studies. The "Beriplast" FG was applied in the clinic for aerostasis in incomplete +hermetization of the sutured pulmonary wound in 11 patients.

[Use of fibrin glue in surgery of parenchymatous organs].

The article discusses the results of one of the first studies conducted in the Soviet Union on the use of various types of fibrinous glue in operations on the parenchymatous organs. The data of 67 experiments on rabbits and 20 clinical cases are reported. The experiments were carried out to test the efficacy of fibrinous glue application for arresting parenchymatous bleeding and appraise the air-tightness of wounds of the liver, spleen, and kidney by the method of hydropressure with morphological control.
