Abstract
The sealing effect of gelatin glue was superior to that of fibrin glue, with or without a polyglycolic acid sheet. In addition, the gelatin glue only caused mild inflammation of the lung and was absorbed without any adverse foreign body response. These findings suggest that gelatin glue may be a therapeutically effective biomaterial for sealing lung wounds and restoring respiratory function.
