Claim:
1. A surgical glue comprising a hydrophobic viscous pre-polymer, wherein the pre-polymer is a polyester having the formula (-A-B-) wherein A is derived from a substituted or unsubstituted polyol moiety and B is derived from a substituted or unsubstituted diacid, and n represents an integer greater than 1; wherein the pre-polymer comprises a plurality of polymeric backbones which are activated with functional groups comprising substituted or unsubstituted vinyl groups, wherein degree of activation of the plurality of polymeric backbones is from about 0.2 to about 0.9, wherein the functional groups on the plurality of polymeric backbones are crosslinkable by exposure to a stimulus selected from the group consisting of light, heat, and a chemical initiator, wherein the pre-polymer has a weight average molecular weight of between about 1,000 and less than 20,000 Daltons, wherein crosslinking of the pre-polymer is not initiated by bodily fluids, and wherein the pre-polymer when crosslinked exhibits a 90° pull off adhesive strength which is greater than 1.5 N/cm
