Lymphostasis and Hemostasis in Body-Contouring Surgery Using a Polysaccharide Based Hemostat (4DryField PH)

摘要

Background:Following liposuction, abdominoplasty is the most frequent body-contouring intervention in the world. The transection of small blood vessels in large areas and subsequent bleeding is a viable risk during this procedure. The resulting microvascular bleedings should be stopped thoroughly to reduce the probability of related complications. In this prospective, monocentric, randomized study, the efficacy of the polysaccharide-based hemostat 4DryField PH (4DF) (PlanTec Medical, Lueneburg, Germany) is examined in classic abdominoplasty and lower body lift after Lockwood.
