Background Published interim results have shown that fibrin sealant (Tissucol ® /Tisseel ® Baxter AG, Vienna, Austria) may be effective in preventing anastomotic leaks and internal hernias following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP). We report the final results of a multicenter, randomi...
