Experimental use of fluoroalkyl cyanoacrilate in ureteral anastomosis.
A fluorinated tissue adhesive Fluoroalkyl Cyanoacrilate has been used in end-to-end ureteral anastomoses as an adjunct to suture material to avoid urinary extravasation in seven dogs. A similar number of dogs served as controls. The urinary tracts were evaluated grossly, radiographically, and histologically after 3 to 12 months. Better anatomical results and less inflammatory reaction and fibrosis were found in the group submitted to the tissue adhesive.
