title: [Treatment of scrotal hydrocele using fibrin adhesive].
abstract: For the purpose of adhesion of the tunica vaginalis in scrotal hydrocele, we used fibrin adhesive, Bolheal. Between September 1993 and December 1994, 13 patients with scrotal hydrocele received occlusion therapies using Bolhead. The therapy was effective in 1 of the 6 patients (17%) administered 2.4 mg of fibrinogen and 750 units of thrombin into the vaginal cavity after aspiration of fluids, and in 5 of the 7 patients (71%) administered 240 mg of fibrinogen and 7.5 units of thrombin. Therefore, fibrin adhesive may be useful in the treatment of scrotal hydrocele.
