Use of hemostatic agents for surgical bleeding in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy: Biomaterials perspective
AbstractIn recent years, there was an abrupt increase in the incidence of renal tumors, which prompt up the appearance of cutting ‐edge technology, including minimally invasive and organ‐preserving approaches, such as laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). LPN is an innovative technique used to treat small renal masses that have been gaining popularity in the last few decades due to its promissory results. However, the bl eeding control remains the main challenge since the majority of currently available hemostatic agents (HAs) used in other surgical specialities are inefficient in LPN. This hurried the search for eff...

Initial experiences with the Hemopatch ® as a hemostatic agent in zero-ischemia partial nephrectomy
Conclusions Although this study is limited to a small set of initial experiences with Hemopatch® in LPN, it proves the feasibility and reliability of this new hemostat. Following further evaluation in prospective randomized comparative studies, Hemopatch® might represent a promising tool in NSS.
