Purpose: Inguinal hernia is a common surgical problem and different methods are currently used to repair it. In The Lichtenstein technique, the inguinal floor defect is buttressed with a prosthetic mesh and commonly, sutures are used for mesh fixation. N-Hexyl Cyanoacrylate is a gluelike product that can be used for mesh fixation as a substitute with fewer complications. This study was done for comparing therapeutic outcomes of mesh fixation with suture and N-Hexyl cyanoacrylate glue in inguinal hernia repair with the Lichtenstein method.
Methods: In a two-arm parallel-group randomised controlled trial with blinded patients, 58 hernia cases who were candidates for hernia repair with the Lichtenstein method entered the study and randomly divided into two groups. In the control group, the mesh that was used for inguinal floor reinforcement was fixed with sutures and in the intervention group with N-Hexyl Cyanoacrylate glue. The results including acute and chronic pain, hospital stay, complications, and recurrence rate after one year were compared.
Results: There was no recurrence. According to the numeric rating scale (NRS), mean postoperative pain (acute pain) was 6.5 and 5.7 points in the suture and N-Hexyl Cyanoacrylate glue groups respectively, with significant difference (P = 0.006). Mean duration of surgery was 73.3 and 64.5 min in the suture and N-Hexyl cyanoacrylate glue groups respectively, with significant difference (P = 0.014). Complications, hospital stay days, and chronic pain did not differ across the groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Mesh fixation with N-Hexyl cyanoacrylate glue in hernia repair with the Lichtenstein method can lower postoperative pain and duration of surgery and this product might be used as a substitute for suture.

Article Synopsis
- A case report details a 75-year-old man with a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction who underwent successful stent implantation but experienced a side branch perforation during the procedure.
- The perforation was effectively treated with intracoronary cyanoacrylate glue, showing that this method may be a safe option for managing similar complications in PCI.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of a surgical glue, Ifabond™, as an alternative to traditional mesh fixation in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs, focusing on reducing chronic postoperative pain.
- Data was collected from 613 patients, showing significant decreases in postoperative pain and improvements in quality of life after surgery, with follow-ups at 5 weeks and 12 months.
- Although 13.74% of patients experienced chronic pain a year later, only a small number required medication, and overall complications, such as hernia recurrences and major morbidities, were low.
Initial clinical experience with N-hexyl cyanoacrylate for neuroendovascular embolization.

Objective: To report our initial clinical experience with N-hexyl cyanoacrylate (NHCA), a novel liquid agent for neurovascular embolization.
Methods: Four paragangliomas were treated with percutaneous embolization using NHCA as the sole embolic material. In one dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF), NHCA was used in combination with other embolic materials.

Background: Antibacterial meshes for hernia repair seek to avoid infection in the patient. As these biomaterials are especially prone to bacteria settling at their sutured borders, this study examines whether the use of a cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive could improve mesh behavior at the fixation zones.
Methods: First, antibacterial polypropylene meshes were prepared by soaking in 0.

Background: The pressure cooker (PC) technique uses a second microcatheter to produce a proximal occlusion to prevent the reflux of liquid embolic agent (LEA) injected through a more distal microcatheter, and can be used to treat arteriovenous malformations and dural arteriovenous fistulae. The liquid embolic Magic Glue (MG) (N-hexyl cyanoacrylate (NHCA)) has been introduced as an alternative to N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). Our goals were to compare the extent of embolization of rete mirabile with or without the PC technique using NBCA or MG, and to compare the proximal occlusions obtained with MG or NBCA while using the PC technique in a renal arterial model.
