[Use of the medical glue MK-14i in emergency surgery and endoscopy]

Area of Science:

• Surgical Innovation
• Medical Adhesives
• Endoscopic Procedures

Context:

• Acute chemical lesions of the esophagus present significant treatment challenges.
• Tracheobronchial fistulas require advanced sealing techniques for effective management.
• Trauma to thoracic and abdominal organs necessitates reliable methods for suture hermetization and hemostasis.

Purpose:

• To evaluate the efficacy of medical glue MK-141 in treating acute chemical esophageal lesions.
• To assess the application of medical glue MK-141 for managing tracheobronchial fistulas.
• To determine the utility of MK-141 in suture hermetization and hemostasis for trauma patients.

Summary:

• Medical glue MK-141 was applied in 140 cases of chemical esophageal lesions and 18 cases of tracheobronchial fistulas using endoscopic techniques.
• The glue facilitated suture hermetization in thoracic and abdominal trauma and provided hemostasis in parenchymal organ trauma.
• Positive outcomes were observed across all applications, including reduced postburn stenoses and bleeding in esophageal cases, and accelerated wound healing.

Impact:

• Demonstrates a significant reduction in complications such as stenosis and bleeding following chemical esophageal burns.
• Shortens the overall wound healing time in patients treated with medical glue MK-141.
• Highlights the versatility of MK-141 as an endoscopic tool for various surgical interventions and trauma management.
