Rationale: Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a major surgical challenge that is difficult to address using hand-sewn closure alone. Robust, rapidly acting bioadhesive patches offer a promising alternative to conventional sutures and staples. However, the development of bioadhesive patches that achieve instantaneous wet-tissue adhesion while minimizing postoperative adhesion remains challenging. Innovative material designs and interdisciplinary translational ...
