A novel laparoscopic sponge using absorbable materials effectively controls minor bleeding during minimally invasive urology procedures, enhancing operative safety.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Hemostasis

Background:

  • Minor intraoperative bleeding is a significant challenge in laparoscopic surgery.
  • Effective hemostasis is crucial for maintaining surgical field visibility and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report an improved laparoscopic sponge design utilizing absorbable materials.
  • To address the challenge of minor bleeding during laparoscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A sponge constructed from absorbable gelatin sponge wrapped in oxidized regenerated cellulose.
  • Secured with absorbable suture for intracorporeal use.
  • Insertable and removable via a 12-mm laparoscopic port.

Main Results:
