Tissue adhesives are being used in medical and cosmetic industries and first aid for a long time. But their everyday usage has not been widespread. Only case report information is available about their usage. Despite good and meaningful results after they were used, there is lack of standard information that gives idea of about in which cases they could be helpful. Nowadays, cyanoacrylates are used in the surgery more frequently. In this review, we wanted to oversee the biochemical properties and the urological utilisation areas of cyanoacrylates.

“…Therefore CA glues were used to shorten closure time of the fistula, and also prevent a second operation. [38][39][40] Previously, foams, and fibrin adhesives had been used to close enteric fistulas temporarily. These agents do not provide tensile, and bonding strength as achieved with CA glues.…”

“…Post-operative fistulas occur frequently in standard abdominal surgery practice and only 15-25% arises spontaneously (1). These often result from an underlying disease such as Crohn's disease, malignancy, radio or chemotherapy, diverticular disease, vascular failure and ischemia of the mesentery (2,3). EC fistulas are associated with significant morbidity and mortality because the fistula often leads to nutritional deficits, septic complications and concomitant diseases that may appear as a result of prolonged hospital stay.…”

“…Although early fistulae are believed to require an early surgical intervention, experience indicates that many of them can be successfully managed medically, unless there are signs and symptoms of peritonitis. Low-output fistula, effective draining and to some degree, late manifestation of a fistula after an operation (after 5-6 days), are believed to indicate good prognosis and possibility that the fistula will close with conservative treatment (1).…”

“…Gastrointestinal fistulae in patients treated for malignancy -diagnostics and treatment The timing of a fistula treatment, in particular first 24-48 hours after its diagnosis, especially in high gastrointestinal fistulas, is of utmost importance (1,11). At this time, the principle goal of treatment is to control the shock, correct fluid and electrolytes and acidbase abnormalities, supplement blood and protein, ensure effective drainage and protect the skin, drainage of the gastrointestinal tract by insertion a nasogastric probe to the stomach or gastrostomy.…”
