Abstract
Bleeding after laparoscopic gynaecological surgery remains a potential complication. We assessed RADA16 (PuraStat®), a topical self-assembling peptide haemostatic agent, in a pilot study of 46 women undergoing laparoscopic gynaecological surgery. The primary outcome was intraoperative haemostatic efficacy for resection site bleeding. Haemostasis was achieved in all intraoperative bleeding situations (40/40 participants: 100%) with no clinically significant surgical bed bleeding or complications. Mean volume and time required to achieve haemostasis were 6 mL and 14 sec, respectively. This study suggests that PuraStat® is a safe, effective haemostatic agent in laparoscopic gynaecological surgery. Randomised controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings.
期刊介绍:
The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ANZJOG) is an editorially independent publication owned by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) and the RANZCOG Research foundation. ANZJOG aims to provide a medium for the publication of original contributions to clinical practice and/or research in all fields of obstetrics and gynaecology and related disciplines. Articles are peer reviewed by clinicians or researchers expert in the field of the submitted work. From time to time the journal will also publish printed abstracts from the RANZCOG Annual Scientific Meeting and meetings of relevant special interest groups, where the accepted abstracts have undergone the journals peer review acceptance process.
