Optimized Haemostatic Dressing for Better Hepatic Resection Outcomes

Image
  Hepatectomy, or liver resection, is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the liver is removed, typically to treat liver tumors or other hepatic diseases. For many patients with primary or secondary liver malignancies, resection offers the potential curative option. 1–2 Anatomical liver resections are typically classified according to hepatic inflow anatomy, as shown in the image below.1 Press enter or click to view image in full size Fig1:  Resectional liver anatomy1 Surgical Approach Techniques2 Open Liver Resection (Traditional Standard) Minimally Invasive Approaches: Laparoscopic Liver Resection Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Robotic-Assisted Hepatectomy Despite modern surgical advances, liver resection can still result in significant blood loss, increasing the risk of complications such as infected haematomas, bile leaks, and even mortality.1–3 Thus, selecting an effective haemostatic dressing is essential. Surgi-ORC® meets this clinical need by providing fast, reliabl...

Redefining Haemostasis in Minimally Invasive Surgery: Surgi-ORC® Powder

Image
  Redefining Haemostasis in Minimally Invasive Surgery: Surgi-ORC® Powder Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) like endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery use a small camera-equipped tube to treat or diagnose internal conditions without large incisions. In these procedures, achieving haemostasis is essential. Even minor bleeding can obscure visibility, slow the operation, increase transfusion needs and if bleeding uncontrolled, place the patient at serious risk.1 This is where Surgi-ORC®, an effective haemostat, helps control oozing, reduces blood loss. Keep the field clear for safer and smoother procedures. What is Surgi-ORC® Powder? Surgi-ORC® Powder is a sterile, natural, plant-based absorbable oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC)  endoscopic powder  designed to achieve effective haemostasis when applied directly to bleeding tissue or site. The powder format allows uniform dispersion and easy application in endoscopic, laparoscopic, or open surgical procedures. Press enter o...
