A clinical study of efficacy of polyglycolic acid patch in surgery for pneumothorax:a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Objectives: A polyglycolic acid (PGA) patch is often used in pulmonary bullae resection, but consensus has not been reached on its effect on patient recovery. The aim of the study is to conduct a systematic review and metaanalysis of studies of polyglycolic acid for bullectomy. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed using ScienceDirect, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Clinical trials that compared PGA versus non-PGA for bullectomy were selected.… Show more

“… 8 Furthermore, PGA sheet can reduce the rate of postoperative pulmonary fistula in the pleura and can avoid new bullous formation and inhibit the rupture of new bullae. 1 PGA metabolised into water and carbon dioxide in 15 weeks according to the package insert. The application of a PGA sheet with fibrin glue after bullectomy for PSP was efficacious in reducing recurrence.…”
