Fibrin adhesive sealing of ureter after ureteral stone surgery. A controlled clinical trial.
In a prospective randomized study 8 patients were peroperatively allocated to closure of ureterotomies with a fibrin adhesive (Tisseel) and 8 patients to closure with Dexon sutures to evaluate whether the duration of postoperative urinary leakage could be diminished by the use of fibrin adhesive. The median drainage period was 6.5 days (range 3-15 days) and 5.5 days (2-16 days), respectively. Closure of ureterotomies with a fibrin adhesive cannot be recommended.
