Yes, I understand it's use for closing wounds and stopping bleeding. But adhesions are neither a wound nor do they bleed. How would super glue be effective on adhesions?

Thanks Marla

Question - How does any of this apply to using glue in the peritoneal cavity. I mean think what would happen if it got on your intestines. Ewww.

ANSWER: I actually remember Dr. J. Glenn Bradley saying that he has used fibrin glue in the peritoneal cavity - to stop the bleeding.

Someone suggested, "Why don't they use glue?" Here is evidence that glue is already being used...a special kind of glue - fibrin glue - for special kinds of surgical procedures!!
