Summary
This study presents an effective absorbable purse-string suture technique for controlling profuse bleeding during transvesical prostatectomy. The method successfully managed both operative and postoperative hemorrhage in eight patients.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Techniques
- Hemorrhage Control
Background:
- Transvesical prostatectomy can lead to significant prostatic cavity bleeding.
- Managing intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage is crucial for patient safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of an absorbable purse-string suture for controlling bleeding during transvesical prostatectomy.
Main Methods:
- Eight patients undergoing transvesical prostatectomy with profuse bleeding were treated.
- An absorbable purse-string suture was applied around the prostatic capsule.
Main Results:
- The purse-string suture technique effectively controlled operative bleeding.
- Postoperative bleeding was also successfully managed with this method.
Conclusions:
- An absorbable purse-string suture is an effective surgical adjunct for managing prostatic cavity bleeding.
- This technique offers a reliable solution for controlling hemorrhage during and after transvesical prostatectomy.
