    Intestinal anastomosis' integrity is crucial in surgery. This study aimed to investigate whether fibrin glue (FG) (a fibrin sealant containing human factor XII and fibrinogen) has a positive effect on the healing and the integrity of the ileoileal anastomosis in rats. Twenty Wistar rats underwent enterotomy, ileoileal anastomosis and divided into four groups (A: complete anastomosis-no FG, B: complete anastomosis-FG, C: incomplete anastomosis-no FG, D: incomplete anastomosis-FG). Data included leak, adhesions, bursting pressure of the anastomosis, neoangiogenesis, and hydroxyproline levels. Angiogenesis was significantly higher in group B compared to group A (p=0.019). There were no significant differences between groups A and B regarding adhesions, hydroxyproline, and bursting pressure (p=0.500, p=0.158 and p=0.829, respectively). Hydroxyproline levels were higher in group D compared to C, but did not reach significance (p=0.098). Fibrin glue has a positive effect on ileoileal anastomoses. It is not entirely clear whether this effect is due to mechanical support or to the facilitation of the healing process or both. Further research is needed before FG can be applied to humans.
