title: The effect of fibrin glue and peritoneal grafts in the prevention of intraperitoneal adhesions.
abstract: We studied the effect of fibrin sealant and peritoneal grafts applied by fibrin glue on adhesion formation in the rat. Sealing and patching of ischaemic lesions of the uterus resulted in a significant increase in adhesion formation. We conclude, that fibrin sealant and peritoneal grafts can not be given general approval for prophylaxis of intraperitoneal adhesions.
