Sealing of the hepatic resection area using fibrin glue reduces significant amount of postoperative drain fluid

Figure 1 Time course of the mean of the added drain volumes depending on the application of fibrin glue. There was a significant reduction of the segregated amount of fluids in the group of patients in whom sealing with fibrin glue was used. ^aP<0.05 vs no sealing.
