OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate in the treatment of an injury caused in a partially excluded segment of the mouse gut: the cecum. METHODS We used 45 male Wistar rats, divided into three equal groups; in all there was performed a partial resection of the cecum. The groups were designated as Group 1: the lesion was treated with application of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate, Group ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the surgical efficacy and wound-healing characteristics of the tissue adhesive octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (approved by the Food and Drug Administration) with traditional suture closure in upper blepharoplasty. METHODS Prospective, randomized, blinded study comparing cosmetic and functional outcome and time efficiency. Twenty subjects underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Each...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endovascular treatment with cyanoacrylate embolization is an option when complete obliteration of the nidus of an intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is the goal. Our purpose was to evaluate the rates of initial success and permanent cure of such treatment in a Chinese population. METHODS Twenty-seven consecutive patients with an intracranial AVM underwent end...

To present anastomosis with cyanoacrylate as a cheap, simple, fast, and available technique for anastomosis in urological, vascular, gynecological, and general surgical procedures. This method may in the future be a good alternative to microsurgery, particularly in centers where facilities are unavailable and the financial implication is unbearable for the patient. Cyanoacrylate is an adhesive ...

INTRODUCTION Major complications of colonic anastomosis include fistula, bleeding, and anastomotic stricture, and the most common one is anastomotic leakage. Many organic or inorganic tissue adhesives are being used such as fibrin glue or cyanoacrylate to strengthen or protect colonic anastomosis. Up to now, a great number of studies have been carried out to investigate the effects of these bio...

Cyanoacrylate, also called super glue, fuming is a chemical method for the detection of latent fingermarks on non-porous surfaces such as glass, plastic etc. The method relies on the deposition of polymerized cyanoacrylate ester on residues of latent fingermarks. The method develops clear, stable, white colored fingerprints. However, several post-treatement procedures can be used to improve the...

In the present case report, we report the use of coils and n-butyl cyanoacrylate in the treatment of posttraumatic complex arterioportal fistula. This fistula resulted in ongoing hemodynamically significant gastrointestinal bleeding. Initially, coil embolization was used to treat the large feeding arteries of the AV fistula, but with subsequent discovery of multiple small feeding arteries, n-bu...

Ureterocutaneous fistula is a rare complication of renal surgery. Cyanoacrylate glue is a tissue adhesive, used primarily for the endoscopic control of bleeding from gastric varices. A female aged 33 presented to our facility with a ureterocutaneous fistula after surgery. We used a retrograde endoscopic approach for the instillation of 2 ml of sealant into the ureteral lumen to seal the ureter ...

Cyanoacrylate has been used in several fields of different surgical specialties as an adhesive for closure of gingival flaps and in mucous and cutaneous lacerations. One of its advantages is that it has an excellent immunological response. In view of aesthetic needs, cyanoacrylate has been applied with satisfactory results, when compared with sutures. It presents better coaptation of edges of c...

Nanoparticles developed from poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) (PACA) biodegradable polymers have opened new and exciting perspectives in the field of drug delivery due to their nearly ideal characteristics as drug carriers in connection with biomedical applications. Thanks to the direct implication of organic chemistry, polymer science and physicochemistry, multiple PACA nanoparticles with different f...
