Abstract
We report on the use of a biological glue, Tissucol: (1) for standard procedures of urologic surgery, particularly in kidney surgery (major nephrotomy for removal of staghorn calculus and standard partial nephrectomy), and (2) specifically for kidney transplantations. Based on 50 observations, which account for a quarter of the authors’ transplantations, the various indications of Tissucol in this type of surgery are reviewed. In particular, the method to dry up lymphoceles, frequently observed after kidney transplantations, is described. Finally, the safety of this glue, which is virus inactivated by thermal procedures, is discussed.
