SynthaSeal tissue sealant offers a stronger alternative to sutures for minimally invasive bladder autoaugmentation gastrocystoplasty. This new sealant demonstrates superior tensile strength, potentially improving surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Suture closure is standard for tissue approximation in minimally invasive bladder autoaugmentation gastrocystoplasty.
  • Alternative methods like laser tissue welding and fibrin glue have been explored for tissue approximation.
  • Demucosalized stomach is utilized in this surgical procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate SynthaSeal tissue sealant as a potential alternative to suture closure.
  • To compare the efficacy of SynthaSeal versus traditional sutures in minimally invasive bladder autoaugmentation gastrocystoplasty.
  • To assess the biomechanical and histological properties of anastomoses created with SynthaSeal.

Main Methods:

  • Minimally invasive autoaugmentation gastrocystoplasty was performed on 14 female mongrel dogs.

  • Animals were divided into a suture group (n=6) and a SynthaSeal group (n=6).
  • Tensile strength, stress, histological healing, and anastomotic time were measured and compared.

    • Main Results:

    • SynthaSeal group demonstrated significantly higher anastomotic tensile strength (9.99 N) compared to the suture group (5.66 N).
    • Breaking stress and anastomosis times were comparable between the SynthaSeal and suture groups.
    • Histological analysis showed minor tissue devitalization and normal inflammatory response in both groups.

    Conclusions:

    • SynthaSeal tissue sealant can be successfully employed for minimally invasive gastrocystoplasty using demucosalized stomach.
    • SynthaSeal presents a reliable and potentially superior alternative to suture closure for this procedure.
    • The sealant's increased tensile strength suggests improved anastomotic integrity.
