title: [Experiences with fibrin adhesives in surgery of the rectum and colon].
abstract: Fibrin glue was used for sealing a total of 45 anastomoses in colonic and rectal surgery. ILS, SPTU and EEA staplers were used performing anterior resection (low 26, high 15). The incidence of dehiscence of anastomoses after anterior resection of the sigmoid colon and rectum was studied by radiological examination after a Peritrast-enema about 2 weeks after surgery. Suture dehiscence was roentgenologically detected in 2 patients, no clinical insufficiency. Only 1 patient, aged 80, died from haemorrhage. The rate of postoperative complications was very low.
