[Gluing of sterile abdominal benign cyst walls with tissue adhesives (Tissucol) (preliminary report)].

Abstract

The authors, endeavouring to stick the walls of percutaneously emptied cysts together had applied the two-component Tissucol fibrin glue in the treatment of abdominal and thoracic cysts. Their ten cases, however, may be considered only as preliminary experiences. It seems that the method can be recommended for an attempt to cease these formations in a fast and simple way. Nevertheless, this method must not be the subject of treatment in infected and malignant fluid collections, but seems successful in pancreatic pseudocysts, in spite of their higher proteolytic activity.
