title: Tissue adhesive in surgical and crush renal trauma. An experimental angiographic investigation in the rabbit.
abstract: Angiography and nephroangiography has been performed 3 and 6--10 weeks after induced trauma to 18 rabbit kidneys. The lesions, mimicking crush trauma or surgical ectomy, were repaired using a cyano-acrylate. Perinephric tissue was adhered to the wound and made repair easier in crush trauma. In the resected kidneys it constituted a new pelvic wall. The angiographies demonstrated that in essence only the directly traumatized arteries were abnormal, that the cortical lesions were very small and the venous drainage unimpaired. The function, assessed on urograms, was good. No ureteric obstruction was present.
