| Abstract | We had reported on the basis of experimental findings that the efficacy of protecting the suture line in tracheoplasty by using a self-fascia lata and GRF glue. This time we investigated the effectiveness of GRF glue in the respiratory surgery on the basis of clinical findings. All ten cases in which GRF glue was used resulted in an excellent outcome, namely, GRF glue prevented from air leakage, bleeding and leakage of chyle. Moreover, it was not recognized that any grave side effects occurred in any cases after using GRF glue. We could conclude that GRF glue was a useful material for the respiratory surgery, especially for the case that had a dead space after lobectomy. However its price is not inexpensive, therefore, there seems need to restrict the use of GRF glue--for example--to cases of Giant bulla resection, residual of a large dead space as a postoperative possibility and chemotherapy performed before an operation, and so on. |
