Tisseel in hypospadias repair.

Abstract
Tisseel (Immuno AG, Vienna, Austria), a fibrin sealant, adhesive and hemostatic agent made up of sterilized human and bovine components, was used in hypospadias repairs. The incidence of fistula and significant edema and the duration of hospitalization were all reduced in 30 patients who underwent modified Mustardé repairs in which Tisseel was used when compared with a matched group of 30 repairs without Tisseel. In addition, the rate of complications in fistula repairs and complex revisions was reduced when Tisseel was used on urethral suture lines and under all skin flaps.
