Biomaterials for Surgical Operation offers a review of the latest
advances made in developing bioabsorbable devices for surgical
operations which include surgical adhesives (sealants), barriers
for the prevention of tissue adhesion, polymers for fractured bone
fixation, growth factors for the promotion of wound healing, and
sutures. Over the years, many descriptions of biomaterials have
appeared in academic journals and books, but most of them have been
devoted to limited clinical areas. This is in marked contrast with
this volume which covers a wide range of bioabsorbable devices used
in surgery from a practical point of view. The currently applied
polymeric devices are critical in surgery, but all involve serious
problems due to their poor performance. For instance, fibrin glue,
the most widely used surgical sealant, can produce only a weak gel
with low adhesive strength to tissues, accentuating the limited
effectiveness of current treatment options. Likewise, the currently
available barrier membranes cannot fully prevent tissue adhesion at
the acceptable level and are, moreover, not easy to handle with
endoscopes due to their poor mechanical properties. Biomaterials
for Surgical Operation is aimed at those who are interested in
expanding their knowledge of how the problems associated with the
currently used devices for surgical operation can be solved. It
primarily focuses on the absorbable biomaterials which are the main
components of these medical devices.
