[Methods of hemostasis and hepatectomy in injuries of the liver]
Abstract:
In 77 animals, 154 operations of gauze tamponade of a hepatic wound with the use of hemostatic preparations were performed. On the 12 human cadavers and 10 dogs, the technique of placing a vascular suture in injuries to efferent hepatic veins was tried. The dynamics of acid phosphatase activity as a criterium of hepatic cirrhosis involution after partial hepatectomy in 30 albino mice was traced. The use of gauze tamponade of a hepatic wound with the performance of relaparotomy (optimal time: within 1-3 days) and definitive hemostasis is expedient, mainly, in coagulopathy. No differences in the regression of hepatic cirrhosis in partial resection of the liver and without it were revealed.

Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are large...
Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
