“…The same glue was used to join the fascial layer (Group TI). Fibrin glue tissue adhesive was prepared by mixing bovine fibrinogen (40mg/ml in 0.9% saline) into bovine thrombin (1000U/ml in 40mM CaC1,) in 1:l ratio (Mckay et al, 1994). Both components were procured from Sigma Aldrich Corp. Fibrin glue was applied as per the technique given by Kubo et al (2000) and the wound edges were held together with the help of stay sutures for five minutes for effective bonding.…”

However in other studies, it has been used as a sole agent for the repair of ureter in pigs (Mckay et al, 1994) and closure of duramater in rats (Ozisik et al, 2006). Tissue adhesives are easy to apply and their utility has been proved in the repair of different soft tissues in many studies, however, there is paucity of information on the use of cyanoacrylate and fibrin glues for the repair of urethral incision in goats, hence the present study was planned.…”

Fibrin glue is used as a hemostatic and adhesive agent. Until recently, safety issues had delayed approval of the commercial preparation in the United States. Fibrin glue has found several urologic applications, especially as an adhesive agent. It has excellent potential in laparoscopic surgery, where conventional tissue approximation techniques are cumbersome and time-consuming. Fibrin glue has also been used as a delivery vehicle for autologous cell transplantation and may play a major role in tissue engineering techniques in the future.

“…Their role in ureteral reconstructive surgery, if any, will likely be adjunctive and dependent on further study. Initial investigation by McKay et al [16] regarding the use of interrupted sutures to carry the tension of the anastomotic closure and fibrin glue to approximate the mucosal edges may be promising.…”

Although endoscopic methods have become the preferred means of management for many diseases facing the genitourinary surgeon, a laparoscopic approach might be considered comparable or advantageous in select circumstances. In the literature, laparoscopists reporting their work have favored the transperitoneal approach; however, there are clear advantages and disadvantages to both transperitoneal and retroperitoneal laparoscopy. Intracorporeal suturing remains the most time-consuming aspect of reconstructive surgery, and research emphasis has been on suturing devices and novel anastomotic techniques. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is efficacious and should be considered, particularly in the case of a capacious renal pelvis, crossing vessel, or failed previous endopyelotomy. Laparoscopic pyelolithotomy is uniquely suitable for patients with aberrant anatomy, such as a horseshoe kidney, and may be performed concurrently with pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The use of laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation awaits further development in both open and subtrigonal injection techniques. Its use in colposuspension is undetermined and requires further study as suturing technology improves. During laparoscopic exploration, it is possible to address intraoperative injuries to the ureter and bladder laparoscopically. In summary, laparoscopic surgery of the urinary tract is a "work in progress," but it offers promise for some of the most challenging of circumstances. As the technology advances and the clinical experience widens, the indications and contraindications for these techniques will be better established.
