A Combination of Hemostatic Agents May Safely Replace Deep Medullary Suture during Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy in a Pig Model

摘要

Purpose: We assessed whether a combination of the fibrin tissue adhesive Tisseel (R) (human fibrinogen and thrombin) plus the hemostatic matrix FloSeal (R) (bovine derived gelatin matrix/human thrombin) could safely replace the conventional deep medullary suture without compromising outcomes.
