Abstract

Bleeding is still one of the most feared intraoperative and postoperative complications that can lead to an increase in morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay and costs. Nowadays, in addition to accurate surgical techniques, several local haemostatic agents are available and can be used in case of oozing bleeding. Herein, we report our experience with a ready-to-use polysaccharide powder in two patients undergoing distal splenopancreatectomy. Bleeding control was achieved in both cases. No patient showed postoperative bleeding, and no other complications were reported.
