The Role of FLOGEL® in Posterior Fossa Tumor Surgery

Image
  In neurosurgical operations, posterior fossa tumor removal is a very delicate procedure because it is operating near vital structures such as the cerebellum and brainstem within confined space.1 Posterior fossa tumours are more common in children than adults, accounting for 54–70% of paediatric brain tumours compared with 15–20% in adults and occur more frequently in males.2–3 Continuous bleeding can obscure the surgical field, making it difficult for the surgeon to identify and control the source of bleeding. This not only complicates the procedure but also increases the risk of injury to surrounding tissues and serious complications, including brainstem compression, herniation and mortality.3 Hence, prompt and effective haemostasis is essential for maintaining bleeding control and a clear surgical field. What complications can occur in a postoperative posterior fossa patient? Posterior fossa surgery carries a high risk of complications, primarily due to the anatomical proximity...

Role of Surgi-ORC in Postoperative Bleeding After Minor Oral Surgery in Cirrhosis Patients

Image
  Introduction Minor oral surgery, a focused subspecialty of oral and maxillofacial surgery, encompasses procedures involving the teeth, gingiva, alveolar bone, and adjacent soft tissues.¹ These procedures such as tooth extractions, periodontal interventions, biopsies, and alveoloplasty are routinely performed to relieve pain, restore oral function, facilitate prosthetic rehabilitation, and aid in the diagnosis or management of infections and tumors.¹˒² While minor oral surgical procedures are generally considered safe, postoperative bleeding remains one of the most frequent complications and is significantly increased in patients with liver cirrhosis due to impaired coagulation. In such high-risk populations, achieving rapid and reliable local hemostasis is essential. Alongside systemic optimization, topical hemostatic agents play a critical role in minimizing postoperative bleeding and reducing procedure-related morbidity. What challenges do surgeons face when performing oral sur...

The Role of Surgi-ORC® in Bleeding Control During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Image
  Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a minimally invasive procedure for gallbladder removal in gallstone disease (cholelithiasis) and related complications. Compared with open surgery, LC offers less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes.1,2 Press enter or click to view image in full size Fig. 1:  Laparoscopic cholecystectomy2 What clinical conditions commonly require LC? LC is indicated in a wide range of gallbladder conditions, including3 Cholelithiasis Mucocele or empyema of the gallbladder Cholesterolosis Typhoid carrier Porcelain gallbladder Acute cholecystitis (calculous and acalculous) Adenomatous gallbladder polyps As part of other procedures, viz., whipple’s procedure Although LC generally provide better outcomes across these indications, effective haemostasis remains essential for procedural safety, as bleeding continues to be the most serious non-biliary complication.4 Why bleeding control is critical during LC? ...
