AB Stable sealing of lungs tissue is the core principle and the key condition for positive results of postoperative recovery period after thoracic surgery. Hardest complication in thoracic surgery is the inconsistency of bronchial stump, the bronchial fistulas (15,5%). Due to this possibility of glue usage for lung surface processing with sealing effect is the most actual for thoracic surgery; as the possibility of adequate elasticity while lungs tissue elongation with min. collateral effects.The advantages of LTG: inexpensiveness, highly adhesiveness and hydrophilia, ability to change elasticity, viscosity, adhesiveness, high rupture strength, microbiological stability, low toxicity. In our thoracic department actively applied till September 2010 latex glue, resulted drainage period average 2-3 days after operations (in purulent-destructive processes max 5 days).View this table:Table 1. Patients with application of latex glueTraditionally the average drainage period more than 5-7 days, and more complications. The larger scale of application is possible but not happen due to lack of financing from our hospital administration.
