These images demonstrate the seeds-on-a-string surgical technique utilized to minimize seed migration and cavity shrinkage: A) cavity post-resection; B) seeds are placed within the cavity like barrel staves so the tensile strength of the string keeps the cavity open; C) seeds are covered with Surgicel (Ethicon) to prevent seed movement and promote hemostasis; D) fibrin glue is introduced into the cavity to prevent seed migration and maintain cavity volume.
