Development of a Novel Synthetic Hydrogel Sealant for Effective Prevention of Liver Resection‐Associated Bile Leakage (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 6/2026)
Abstract
Hydrogel Sealant The illustration depicts the dual-stage PEG hydrogel sealant being applied to liver tissue. The material instantly solidifies to block bleeding and gradually forms strong chemical bonds with the tissue, preventing bile leakage after liver resection. More details can be found in the Research Article by Shohei Ishikawa, Hiroyuki Kamata, Katsuyuki Hoshina, Takamasa Sakai, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202503518).
