The authors investigated the potential role the fibrin sealant system may portray in the fixation of osseous implants. The application of a layer of fibrin did not interfere with the fixation of osseous implants of either pyrolytic carbon or Biolite-coated porous titanium. A greater percentage of tissue ingrowth was observed in the porous titanium implants in the presence of the fibrin sealant system; however, no significant difference in the ultimate interfacial shear stress was observed.

This study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of TachoSil in controlling lymphatic leakage in breast cancer patients undergoing axillary dissection. By examining its ability to reduce postsurgical lymphatic drainage, the study will assess its impact on complications like seroma formation, recovery time, and overall patient outcomes, including quality of life and reduced healthcare costs. Breast cancer patients treated in the Department of Surgical Oncology at King Abdulaziz Medical City were enrolled to receive either TachoSil or undergo drain placement after axillary dissection.

In general, the nerve cells of the peripheral nervous system regenerate normally within a certain period after the physical damage of their axon. However, when peripheral nerves are transected by trauma or tissue extraction for cancer treatment, spontaneous nerve regeneration cannot occur. Therefore, it is necessary to perform microsurgery to connect the transected nerve directly or insert a nerve conduit to connect it.

Article Synopsis
  • Periodontal surgery often requires dressings for protection and healing, with common options like noneugenol packs having drawbacks such as plaque buildup and minimal healing benefits.
  • Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) membranes promote faster healing due to their growth factors but typically require sutures for stability.
  • This case report explores the use of PRF membranes combined with N-butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive as a promising alternative to traditional dressings, potentially eliminating the need for suturing.

Introduction: There is a risk of iatrogenic vascular injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of diaphragmatic endometriosis. Although studies are limited, the first reported case of a suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during robotic diaphragmatic endometriosis excision was successfully treated using a fibrin sealant patch, preventing exsanguination and conversion to laparotomy.

Case Description: A 36-year-old female with a history of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and two prior video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries to treat diaphragmatic endometriosis presented to our clinic with right-sided shoulder pain and a chest tube in place.

Role of CT myelography in the diagnosis and management of spontaneous intracranial hypotension.

Clin Neurol Neurosurg

December 2024

CHU de Lille, 2 Avenue Oscar Lambret, Hauts-de-France, France. Electronic address:

Introduction: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a secondary cause of headache. Its pathophysiology is complex, and relies mainly on the notion of a localized leak, and thus a loss of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the spinal region. SIH is little known to the medical profession, for which CT myelography is a technique on the rise, allowing to identify and treat the leak using a blood-patch or a fibrin sealant.
