FIBRIN ADHESIVES IN PROTECTION OF DIGESTIVE TRACT ANASTOMOSES (REVIEW OF FOREIGN LITERATURE)

Data of experimental and clinical studies concerning fibrin adhesives’ use for theprotection of anastomoses of the gastrointestinal tract are submitted in the article.Definite data have not been obtained.Objective. The purpose of this study was to review literature on the protection ofanastomoses of the digestive system by fibrin adhesives. The study was conductedaccording to the Internet data.Conclusion. The given data testify that anastomoses strengthening with fibrin adhesivescan be effective in bariatric surgery. The majority investigations, preferably on rats,are an experimental research. It is premature to give recommendations concerningapplication of fibrin adhesives to strengthen other types of anastomoses. Fibrin adhesives’investigations in strengthening gastrointestinal tract anastomoses represent a perspectivedirection of up-to-date surgery. Significant achievements should to be expected.
