Treatment with oxidized cellulose of the resection surface of the lung.
Segment resection was performed in 15 dogs. The resected surface was covered with absorbable cellulose bioplast (Surgicel)R and fixed by the tissue adhesive Histoacryl-N-Blau. The results were checked by gross and microscopic examinations which showed that the gradually absorbed material had been replaced by a layer of connective tissue. The method is recommended for use in human operations.
