Popis: The fibrin glue Tissucol (Immuno, Vienna) was used in organ-preserving surgery of the spleen. Surgical operations on parenchymal organs in adults cause technical problems because of the vulnerability of the tissue. Laceration of puncture channels and section of parenchymal tissue are the most feared complications of the surgical suture. Fibrin gluing as a supplement or even as an alternative to conventional suture techniques enables the general surgeon to repair the organ or perform a tissue-saving operation. During the last 3 years, we have performed partial resection of the spleen due to post-traumatic pseudocyst in three patients. The resected surface was sealed by fibrin sealant. In the postoperative period, spleen regeneration was traced by Tc-99m.
