Combined use of bioplast and tissue adhesive in experimental nephrectomies in in situ renal hypothermia.
In transvenous regional hypothermia wedge-shaped and flat lower pole resections were made in dogs. The cut surface of the kidney was covered by the combination of tissue adhesive and bioplast without sutures. It was found that the polymerization time of the tissue adhesive almost doubled. The usual rigidity of the adhesive was more expressed than in normothermia and it was not influenced by re-heating. Recovery conditions were more favourable; a larger portion of the parenchyma could be preserved than with the traditional closure with needle and thread.
