    Summary

    This study compared Gelaspon and Surgicel for controlling bleeding during partial splenectomy in dogs. Gelaspon demonstrated superior results, causing less tissue reaction and a thinner neocapsule formation.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Surgical Hemostasis
    • Surgical Materials

    Background:

    • Partial splenectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of a portion of the spleen.
    • Effective hemostasis is crucial during splenectomy to minimize blood loss and complications.
    • Evaluating hemostatic agents is important for optimizing surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy and tissue response of Gelaspon and Topostasin/Surgicel in controlling hemorrhage during partial splenectomies in dogs.
    • To determine which hemostatic agent results in a thinner neocapsule formation post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-five dogs underwent partial splenectomy, with the lower third of the spleen excised via transverse incision.
    • Bleeding vessels were ligated, and parenchymal hemorrhage was managed using Gelaspon with Topostasin or Surgicel.
    • Hemostatic agents were secured to the splenic tissue using Dexon sutures.

    Main Results:

    • Both Gelaspon and Topostasin/Surgicel proved effective in achieving hemostasis during partial splenectomy.
    • Gelaspon application resulted in significantly less tissue reaction compared to the other agent.
    • A thinner neocapsule was observed following the use of Gelaspon.

    Conclusions:

    • Gelaspon is a beneficial hemostatic agent for partial splenectomy in dogs.
    • Gelaspon offers advantages over Topostasin/Surgicel due to reduced tissue reactivity and improved neocapsule formation.
    • Further research may explore Gelaspon's application in other surgical procedures requiring splenic hemostasis.
