Application of fibrin glue in maintaining post operative haemostasis in a thrombocytopenic patient: a novel approach case report

ABSTRACT

Here we report a case of chronic refractory autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura [ITP] who presented with severe persistent thrombocytopenia, 3 months history of incisional hernia with aggravating symptoms. Considering the potential danger of acute obstruction, with its disastrous consequences, surgery was performed under cover of fibrin glue and hernia was repaired without any excess post operative bleeding
