  • Title: [Fibrin glue injection--a hemostatic technic after laparoscopic liver biopsy].
    Author: Thiele H, Berg PL, Frick B, Kalk JF.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1989 Aug 04; 114(31-32):1196-8. PubMed ID: 2473871.
    Abstract:
    Fibrin glue was injected into or near the site of needle biopsy puncture in 33 patients (38 laparoscopically guided liver biopsies), 21 with histologically confirmed liver cirrhosis, to arrest post-puncture bleeding. A special double-lumen needle was introduced, suitable for multiple injections. Fibrin-glue injection was successful in 37 instances, but in one case it failed because the injection needle could not be optimally placed. The method thus seems to be a reliable and sensible means of obtaining haemostasis if compression and electrocoagulation have failed.
