The Role of Haemostatic Gel Matrix in Reducing Neurosurgical Complications
Neurosurgical procedures demand exceptional precision and control, especially when performed in tight anatomical spaces using microscopic or endoscopic techniques. In such confined environments, even minor bleeding can significantly obscure the surgical field, increasing operative complexity and the risk of damaging critical neural structures [1]. Thus, achieving rapid and effective haemostasis is not merely desirable — it is vital to patient safety and surgical success. Why Haemostasis Matters in Neurosurgery Unlike many other surgical specialties, neurosurgery poses distinct challenges due to the proximity of vital neural structures and the potentially devastating consequences of even minor postoperative bleeding. Generalized oozing from the dura mater, spinal nerves, or bony surfaces may be deceptively persistent and difficult to control. Residual blood, even in small amounts, can compress delicate tissues, resulting in complications such as hematomas, infections, or neurologi...
