Abstract

The Minimal Access Therapy Training Unit at The Royal Surrey County Hospital Guildford (UK) reports on the initial success with the use of n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate glue for fixing polypropylene mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair. We report our experience with seven such repairs and describe the prototype glue dispenser and mode of application used to fix the mesh. This is the first reported use of glue in laparoscopic hernia repair.
