  • Title: Randomized trial of fibrin adhesive for reduction of drained secretion after elective cholecystectomy.
    Author: Dimo B, Jørgensen T, Kjaergaard J, Luke M, Kvist E, Hjortrup A.
    Journal: Acta Chir Scand; 1989 Mar; 155(3):177-8. PubMed ID: 2472722.
    Abstract:
    Eighty patients scheduled for elective cholecystectomy were randomly allocated to application of fibrin adhesive (Beriplast) to the gallbladder bed or to a control group. No significant difference was found between the two groups in regard to amount of postoperatively drained secretion or in drainage time. Fibrin adhesive thus had no effect on secretion of peritoneal fluid after simple cholecystectomy.
