The Use of Fibrin Sealant in Nephron Sparing Surgery for Renal Tumors

In renal surgery fibrin glue may be advantageous in all cases in which conservative procedures are required or in the presence of bleeding surfaces. In conservative surgery for renal tumors, the advantages that resulted following the use of Tissucol are represented by atraumatic sealing of the parenchyma and safe hemostasis. Here, we report our experience with fibrin glue in 67 cases of nephron sparing surgery for renal tumors.
