In order to reduce the psychological and aesthetic consequences caused by elective or therapeutic orchiectomy, we developed two types of testicular prostheses, which were produced using a 3D printer, with polylactic acid filament, coated cyanoacrylate polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). They tested in Wistar rats, orchiectomy performed on left testicle prosthesis implanted inside tunica vaginalis, g...

n-Butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) embolization of a hemorrhagic pseudoaneurysmal arteriovenous fistula of the sphenopalatine artery in a patient with paranasal sinus squamous cell carcinoma treated with regional surgery and radiation has, to our knowledge, not been previously reported.

We describe the successful relief of compression of the spinal cord due to a vertebral haemangioma by transcatheter embolisation using cyanoacrylate compounds before operation, and provide a brief review of the literature.

Gastric variceal bleeding is a serious complication of portal hypertension with significant morbidity and mortality to the patient. Endoscopic injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (N-BCA) is widely used for the control of gastric variceal bleeding with initial haemostasis of 87–100%. We present a case of severe respiratory failure due to pulmonary embolization of cyanoacrylate sclerosant used i...

Cyanoacrylates have been recognized since before the 1960s as excellent tissue adhesives. They are easy to use, cost-effective, and cosmetically favorable. There are no studies from India reporting the use of tissue adhesives in laparoscopic surgery. We carried out a prospective, interventional, randomized trial of non-absorbable simple interrupted sutures versus 2-octyl cyanoacrylate in the cl...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was developed for the en bloc resection of large early gastrointestinal neoplasms. A disadvantage of ESD is its technical difficulty, which requires advanced skills and is associated with a higher rate of complications. Endoscopic variceal obturation (EVO) using cyanoacrylate has emerged as the initial treatment of choice for acute gastric variceal bleedin...

Cyanoacrylates (CAs) were not widely adopted for medical use until recently because of lingering concerns regarding the initial tissue toxicities of the short-chain CAs. The medium-chain CAs, primarily butyl-cyanoacrylate, have been widely used in Europe and Canada for several decades and have gone a long way in dispelling any lingering concerns about tissue toxicity. The newer, longer chain CA...

BACKGROUND Calyceal fistulas are common and difficult to treat after surgery of urinary collecting system. METHODS A 30-year old woman. The fifth day after receiving a cadaver donor renal allograft presented an acute rejection episode; fourteen days later presented an urinoma treated with a percutaneous drainage tube. Five days later surgical exploration was made, lower pole infarction and is...
