[Covering the resected surface of parenchymatous organs with histoacryl-N-blue tissue adhesive and a seromuscular patch from the gastric wall].

Seromuscular patches were prepared from the gastric wall of 20 experimental dogs and used in the form of autologous or allogenic transplants for the covering of the resection surface of parenchymal organs (liver, spleen, pancreas). The patches were fixed by means of the tissue adhesive Histoacryl-N-Blue; the aim was to achieve haemostasis and to prevent running of the secretion. In the 1 to 90 days follow-up period the patches completely organized and in none of the cases did haemorrhage occur. On the basis of the good experimental results the authors suggest the possibility of the clinical application of autologous patches.
