title: Fibrin glue and hemostasis in liver trauma: a case report.
abstract: We have used fibrin glue to control non-arterial hemorrhage from major liver lacerations in two patients with excellent results. It is an ideal biologic hemostatic agent. Fibrin glue uses none of the body's intrinsic clotting factors and can be prepared from commonly available products in minutes.
