Randomized trial of fibrin adhesive for reduction of drained secretion after elective cholecystectomy.

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.

A comparative study of transitional cell tumors of the bladder and upper urinary tract.

In two groups composed of 228 patients with bladder tumors and 37 patients with upper urinary tract (UUT) tumors, we compared the transitional cell carcinoma in respect to sex, age, grade of dysplasia, staging, and survival. No differences could be established between the two groups, and we found the same 5-year survival rates of approximately 26% and 29%, respectively, for the invasive carcinomas.

Relationship between blood groups and tumors of the upper urinary tract.

Comparing the relationship between upper urinary tract tumors and blood group ABO and the rhesus system showed that patients with blood group A and blood type rhesus positive had more invasive tumors with a higher grade of dysplasia than patients with blood group O and blood type rhesus negative.

Primary carcinoma of the upper urinary tract.

Thirty-seven patients with upper urinary tract tumours were evaluated for grade, stage, histological type, location, presence or absence of vascular invasion, abnormalities in the urothelium adjacent to the tumours, tumour multiplicity and patient survival. A good correlation between tumour grade and stage was found in the transitional cell tumours. Squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas were high-stage tumours. Vascular invasion was present in most high-grade tumours, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinomas. Four patients had multifocal tumours of both pelvis and ureter. Three developed ureteric stump carcinomas and 13 had further development of bladder carcinomas. The cumulative 5 and 10 year survival rates were 43 and 23% respectively.

Reduction of post-operative bleeding after transurethral resection of the prostate by local instillation of fibrin adhesive (Beriplast).

A method for instilling a two-component fibrin adhesive into the prostatic cavity after transurethral resection of the prostate is described. In a prospective, controlled study, 30 consecutive patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) were randomised either to receive treatment with the local instillation of fibrin adhesive into the prostatic cavity or to a control group that received no special treatment post-operatively. There were no complications either during application of the fibrin adhesive or in the follow-up period. Post-operative blood loss was significantly reduced in the fibrin group (P less than 0.01).
