Quick and Easy Application Method of TachoSil®️ During Laparoscopic and Robotic Liver Resections

TachoSil®️, a fibrin sealant patch, is a sheet-type hemostatic agent. Therefore, it is technically demanding to put it on the target place especially in laparoscopic surgeries due to the motion restriction of straight-fixed instruments. This article describes a quick and easy technique of TachoSil application during laparoscopic liver surgeries, by sewing it to the laparoscopic gauze in advance. This method allows for one-handed operation and stress-free application even in the situation of active bleeding.
