The Value of Fibrin Sealant in Esophagus Surgery

  • Conference paper
Fibrin Sealant in Operative Medicine

Abstract

Postoperative suture insufficiency is one of the most serious problems in esophagus surgery. After resections, it has to be expected in 20% of the cases. Special anatomical features of the esophagus are partly responsible for the high insufficiency rate. With the application of fibrin sealant in connection with a change in surgical technique we have been able to reduce the anastomotic insufficiency rate, and we consider the mechanical suture support and the primarily fluid-proof closure to be the major advantages of fibrin sealant.
