AGENT DE SCELLEMENT TISSULAIRE DESTINÉ À ÊTRE UTILISÉ DANS LA FORMATION D'UNE ANASTOMOSE DANS LE TRACTUS GASTRO-INTESTINAL

摘要

Disclosed is a tissue sealant for use in the formation of an anastomosis in the gastrointestinal tract, wherein the tissue sealant comprises 8 mg/ml or more fibrin and one or more human or recombinant growth factor (s). In particular, gastrointestinal tract stump ends may be formed by resecting a segment of the gastrointestinal tract, the tissue sealant may be applied to one or both gastrointestinal stump end(s), and the gastrointestinal stump ends may be connected to form the anastomosis in the gastrointestinal tract. The use of the tissue sealant in the formation of the anastomosis results in fewer complications due to leakage from the formed gastrointestinal anastomosis.
