The Role of Surgi-ORC® in Cardiac Surgery

Image
  Cardiac surgery is a type of surgery performed on the heart and its associated blood vessels, involving delicate, highly vascular structures that require precise surgical care.1 Despite continuous advancements in surgical techniques, achieving effective haemostasis remains a critical challenge.2 Bleeding particularly diffuse oozing from soft tissues, sternal bone marrow, and surgical sites can increase the risk of complications. This challenge is even more pronounced in patients with comorbidities or those receiving antiplatelet therapy.2 Therefore, effective bleeding control is essential for safe outcomes. Why is effective haemostasis so important in cardiac surgery? Inadequate control of bleeding during cardiac surgery can lead to several complications, including:3,4 Increased blood loss Higher transfusion needs Longer surgery and ICU stay Risk of reoperation due to excessive bleeding Complications such as tamponade or wound infection Impaired wound healing, seromas and sternal...

The Role of FLOGEL® in Pituitary Tumor Surgery

Image
  The Role of FLOGEL ® in Pituitary Tumor Surgery Pituitary tumor surgery, often performed via a minimally invasive transsphenoidal approach, allows direct gland access and faster recovery. However, the complex anatomy of the sellar region and its closeness to vital structures require high precision. 1-3 Furthermore, oozing from the surgical wall cavities from the dural or nervous tissue may be troublesome and raise complications risk, making effective hemostasis crucial. 4 While bipolar cautery controls bleeding but risks damaging healthy neural tissue, with deleterious neurological sequelae. 4 Therefore, flowable gelatin-based hemostatic agents are useful in this setting as they enable precise bleeding control and support safer pituitary and skull base surgery. Figure 1: Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Approach for Pituitary Tumor Surgery 1 Why hemostasis matters in pituitary neurosurgery Effective bleeding control in transsphenoidal surgery is essential to ensure optimal surgical ...
