【 Abstract 】 Objective To investigate the precautionary effect of fibrin glue on postoperative bleeding and bile leakage when used in partial hepatic resection. Methods House-hold rabbit partial hepatectomy model was prepared and 40 rabbits were divided into sham operation ( SO) group (n=10), control group (n=10) and protocol group (n=20) randomly. The SO rabbits received laparotomy only, while both the control and protocol group received partial hepatectomy. Fibrin glue was used in the protocol group following electric coagulation therapy while the control group received electric coagulation therapy only. The animals’ diet, weight and adverse effects were observed then, and the celiac drainage volume, levels of hemoglobin (Hg), WBC and TBil in celiac outflow and ALT, AST, LDH and TBil in rabbit serum were checked on schedule after operation. Results The average blood loss volume and operation time in the protocol group were (16.0±2.7) ml and (23.7±2.9) min respectively, which were lower than those in the control group 〔 (20.8 ± 3.5) ml and (27.3 ± 2.9) min (P < 0.01) 〕 . The celiac drainage volume, levels of Hg, WBC and TBil in celiac outflow decreased gradually on postoperative days in protocol groups (P < 0.05). The levels of Hg in celiac outflow of the protocol group on the 1st, 2nd and 7th postoperative day were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05), and the result of TBil was the same on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th postoperative day (P < 0.05). The serum ALT, AST, LDH and TBil levels in the control and protocol groups were higher than those in the SO group significantly (P < 0.01), while the serum ALT, AST (except on the 3rd postoperative day) and LDH levels in the protocol group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05) in significance.All animals had good appetite, normal weight gain and no adverse reaction and death occurred. Conclusion Application of fibrin glue may effectively prevent and cure the postoperative bleeding and bile leakage in partial hepatectomy without any adverse reaction.
