Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyEffectiveness of a new carrier-bound fibrin sealant versus argon beamer as haemostatic agent during liver resection: a randomised prospective trial.
A new carrier-bound fibrin sealant, TachoSil, is expected to be efficacious and safe as a haemostatic treatment in hepatic resection. ⋯ TachoSil is superior to argon beamer in obtaining effective and fast intraoperative haemostasis. The safety data show TachoSil to be tolerable and safe for haemostatic treatment in liver resection.
