ABSTRACT
Biosurgical preparations designed to promote surgical hemostasis and tissue adhesion are being increasingly employed across all surgical disciplines. Fibrin sealant is the most widely studied and utilized biosurgical adjunct in urology. Complex reconstructive, oncologic, and laparoscopic genitourinary procedures are those most appropriate for sealant use. This article details the diverse urologic applications of fibrin sealant in the management of genitourinary injuries, surgery, and complications.

Objetivo: Testar a praticidade do uso de cola sintética em cirurgia plástica ocular. Local: Oculistas Associados do Rio de Janeiro, Hospital das Clínicas de Teresópolis, Hospital de Ipanema, Hospital Naval Marcílio Dias. Método: vinte pacientes foram submetidos a diferentes tipos de cirurgia plástica ocular com substituiçäo da sutura de pele pelo uso de cola sintética. Säo analisados os resultados estéticos e expostas as indicaçöes e contra-indicaçöes. Resultados: Houve um caso de fibrose da cicatriz. Notou-se que com a curva de aprendizado o tempo para a aplicaçäo foi menor.Näo houve deiscência de sutura ou infecçäo em nenhum caso.
