title: Does fibrin glue cause foreign body reactions?
abstract: The study was performed in 20 Wistar rats. Approximately 4 mm perforations were created in the left colon of ten rats to which fibrin glue was applied (Group D). The control group had the same injury without any therapeutic or surgical measures (Group K). Of the 20 rats in both groups none died during the postoperative period. All animals sacrificed on the 11th postoperative day. All ten rats of Group D displayed inflammatory foreign body reactions. The control group showed no such reaction.
