Gewebeklebung der rupturierten Milz mit hochkonzentriertem Human-Fibrinogen

Abstract

After splenectomy the immunologic impairment and the susceptibility to infection is increased. The most important impetus for splenic preservation has been postsplenectomy sepsis. Successful results with surgical repair of traumatized spleen and several different techniques were reported. Instead of suture or splenorrhaphy, a new biological adhesive system was used, consisting of thrombin, highly concentrated native human fibrinogen and clotting factor XIII. The highly adhesive properties, the excellent tissue compatibility and the haemostyptic effects recommend this system for use in preservation of the injured spleen.
