title: [Use of the tissue glue, Tissucol, in experimental liver injuries].
abstract: The authors investigated in experiments on rabbits the course of recovery of liver injuries after treatment with the fibrin glue Tissucol, as compared with a control group of animals where the injured liver was not treated. Healing was followed-up at several time intervals. Rupture of the liver left to spontaneous healing was at first unsatisfactory from the histological aspect (wide demarcation margin near the necrosis). Subsequently the margin disappeared however. The scar was minimal after two months and were no manifestations of inflamed parenchyma surrounding the scar. When Tissucol was used, as a rule favourable healing was achieved. Scarring was satisfactory although the connective tissue was somewhat wrinkled and the scar was not linear. On the whole the tissue glue Tissucol is favourable in the final stage despite the fact that during healing a granulomatous reaction to the glue developed and the proliferation of the minor biliary pathways persisted also in the final stage of the experiment.
