QuikClot effectively controlled bleeding and collecting system leakage during partial nephrectomy in pigs. This novel hemostatic agent demonstrated safety for renal parenchyma, enabling large tissue resections.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Partial nephrectomy is a complex procedure requiring effective hemostasis.
  • Controlling renal parenchymal bleeding and collecting system leakage remains a challenge.
  • Novel hemostatic agents are needed to improve surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate QuikClot, a novel granulated mineral hemostatic agent, for controlling renal bleeding and collecting system leakage.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of QuikClot during open and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
  • To determine if QuikClot can facilitate large renal segment resection.

Main Methods:

  • Bilateral and unilateral partial nephrectomies were performed on domestic pigs (n=6).
  • QuikClot was applied to the resected renal surface to achieve hemostasis.

  • Postoperative assessment included ex vivo retrograde pyelograms and histopathological analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • All procedures were completed without complications, with mean operative time of 62 minutes and warm ischemia time of 16 minutes.
    • An average of 23% of renal mass was resected with a mean blood loss of 73 ml.
    • No urinoma or delayed hemorrhage was observed; histopathology confirmed preservation of underlying renal parenchyma.

    Conclusions:

    • QuikClot provided reliable hemostasis and sealed the collecting system during partial nephrectomy in a porcine model.
    • The agent facilitated resection of significant renal segments without adverse effects on renal parenchyma or surrounding tissues.
    • QuikClot represents a promising hemostatic option for partial nephrectomy procedures.
