Objectives Intramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice for fractures of the tibial shaft, which might necessitate the nail removal due to complications in the long-term. Although considered as a low-risk procedure, intramedullary nail removal is also associated with certain complications. Here, we compared the most commonly used stainless steel and titanium nails with respect to the compl...

Objective: Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is one of the most difficult surgical techniques. To complete LM safely, controlling intraoperative bleeding important. In this study, we retrospectively investigated relationships between size and location uterine myomas amount blood loss during at our hospital.

A 21-year-old female presented with acute epidural hemorrhage (EDH) on the left temporal region associated with skull fracture after traffic accident. She was neurologically deteriorated at four-hour after an admission, and follow-up computed tomography revealed increased amount of EDH. Under the general anesthesia, emergency craniotomy was performed. During the surgery, massive bleeding from t...

INTRODUCTION Scalp AVM (SAVM) is a rare condition. Although surgical excision is considered as definitive treatment for these lesions, troublesome intraoperative bleeding may pose a challenge. Embolization as an alternative modality is gaining popularity. Proximal feeding artery temporary clipping has been utilized by the authors in this series to address troublesome intraoperative bleeding. ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery and open surgeries can easily obstruct the surgeons' field of view and increase morbidity and risk of intraoperative complications. Intraoperative bleeding could potentially be addressed by a hemostatic agent that safely disperses itself through the escaping blood. We tested the safety and efficacy of a self-propelling formulation o...

administration revealed significantly lower test values in the group of patients exposed to RBC (P = 0.002) [2]. The role of ASA and CLO administration management should be separately assessed by drug-specific platelet function tests, thus facilitating an individual therapeutic approach for each antiplatelet agent preoperatively. In addition, intraoperative assessment of platelet function and v...

BACKGROUND The effect of perioperative injection of Lucentis on intraoperative bleeding in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was systematically evaluated using a meta-analysis. METHODS Reports of surgical eye treatment with and without perioperative intravitreal injection of Lucentis in Medline, the Cochrane Library, PubMed, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and...

OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic splenectomy has been increasingly used in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Because it is associated with minimal abdominal trauma, platelet consumption could be reduced with the laparoscopic approach. The aim of this study was to analyze intraoperative bleeding and the need for apheresis platelets, comparing laparoscopic with open splenectomy. METHODS...
