The method is based on intraparenchymal injection of a gel substance into the area of tissue damage and aims to achieve reliable aerostasis and hemostasis.This article presents the clinical experience of applying a new method of suture sealing during lung surgery using the Hemoben biogel. A comparative clinical study involving 275 patients demonstrated the high effectiveness of this new approach in reducing complications, drainage duration, and postoperative hospital stay.
