Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) provides additional risk reduction of ischemic events compared to aspirin monotherapy, at cost of higher bleeding risk. There are few data comparing new techniques for reducing bleeding after dental extractions in these patients. PURPOSE This study investigated the effectiveness of the HemCon Dental Dressing (HDD) compared to oxidized cellulose gauze. MATERIALS AND METHODS This randomized study included 60 patients on DAPT who required at least two dental extractions (120 procedures). Each surgical site was randomized to HDD or oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze as the local hemostatic method. Intra-oral bleeding time was measured immediately after the dental extraction and represents our main endpoint for comparison of both hemostatic agents. Prolonged bleeding, platelet reactivity measured by Multiplate Analyser (ADPtest and ASPItest) and tissue healing comparison after 7 days were also investigated. RESULTS Intra-oral bleeding time was lower in HDD compared with control (2 [2-5] vs. 5 [2-8] minutes, P=0.001). Prolonged postoperative bleeding was observed in 7 cases (11.6%), all of them successfully managed with local sterile gauze pressure. More HDD treated sites presented better healing when compared with control sites [21 (36.8%) vs. 5 (8.8%), P=0.03]. There was poor correlation between platelet reactivity and intra-oral bleeding time. CONCLUSIONS In patients on DAPT, HDD resulted in a lower intra-oral bleeding time compared to oxidized cellulose gauze after dental extractions. Moreover, HDD also seems to improve healing conditions.

Abstract
Trauma-related blood loss is still associated with a high mortality and is a major factor in the development of a deadly triad consisting of acidosis, hypothermia and coagulopathy. Sources of bleeding occur particularly in the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic regions as well as in the extremities. For control of bleeding a timely identification of the source of bleeding and the initiation of a targeted treatment are essential. The principles are to stop the blood loss as soon as possible and to restore the lost volume to avoid the complications associated with traumatic hemorrhage. Surgical treatment in the acute situation is especially important due to its efficiency. The present article focuses on the current literature with respect to the appropriate diagnostic and treatment measures in the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic regions as well as the extremities and describes the latest scientific insights and developments. Available trauma algorithms are presented and the value of various strategies regarding surgical hemostasis for the thorax and abdomen are shown, whereby organ preservation can increasingly be achieved, particularly in the abdomen. With respect to hemostasis in severe pelvic injuries and injuries to the extremities, the regularly used surgical techniques are described and their values are differentially classified.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: This retrospective study provides preliminary qualitative assessment of the adverse events (AEs), focusing on pelvic and abdominal AEs and patient outcomes reported for three hemostatic agents used in gynecologic surgery. Methods: Utilization rates for oxidized regenerated cellulose powder (ORC), polysaccharide powder (PSP), and fibrin sealant solution (FSS) were obtained from hospitals via the Premier Healthcare databases for all surgical procedures from January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2020. All reported cases were extracted from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database for ORC and PSP and from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database for FSS. Distributions of AEs by anatomical site (MAUDE/FAERS) and surgical procedures by specialty (Premier) were evaluated for each product. Number of cases and number and types of AEs were compared to the total utilization for each product. Results: PSP was the most used product during the period analyzed (n = 126,509 uses), followed by FSS (n = 80,628 uses), and ORC (n = 41,583 uses). Distribution of surgical procedures by anatomical site varied significantly between hemostatic agents (p < 0.001). ORC was associated with more patient cases with AEs and numbers of reported AEs compared with PSP and FSS (p < 0.001). ORC was associated with higher number of infections than PSP (p < 0.001) and FSS (p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that ORC use in abdominal and pelvic surgery may result in more postoperative complications compared with non-ORC hemostatic agents. Further prospective randomized studies are needed to compare efficacy and safety of these products.

Abstract
Topical hemostatic agents have continued to develop as knowledge of coagulation physiology and pathophysiology has evolved. The addition of knowledge of hemostatic agents to a surgeon's armamentarium helps to push the boundaries of life-saving care. As the understanding of the complex physiology of coagulation and hemorrhage improves, so will the potential for developing hemostatic agents that are safe, affordable, and readily available. This article discusses topical coagulant agents and hemostatic materials currently available in the surgery. The relevant agents/materials, their characteristics, different utility in surgical hemostasis, and their relevant benefits and drawbacks are reviewed.

Abstract
Background Acquired hemophilia A is a rare coagulopathy caused by inhibitors of blood coagulation factor VIII. Patients with acquired hemophilia A have a higher mortality risk (5–10%) than those with congenital hemophilia. Moreover, there is no established evidence of management recommended for patients with acquired hemophilia A. Previous studies have reported the presence of hematomas in the oral cavities of patients with acquired hemophilia A, which were treated conservatively. Here, we describe the case of a patient with acquired hemophilia A, where emergency surgical hemostasis was required for large intraoral hematomas. Case presentation A 65-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of bleeding from large intraoral hematomas. On examination, he could not close his mouth because of the hematomas, which were bleeding spontaneously. Computed tomography angiography revealed no evidence of arteriovenous malformation, and blood test results showed that the activated partial thromboplastin time was elevated beyond the normal limit. To avoid a life-threatening hemorrhage from hematomas, emergency surgical hemostasis was performed with nasotracheal intubation using fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Hemostasis was successfully performed, as the hematomas were carefully removed. Moreover, the clinical course was successfully completed using intravenously administered activated prothrombin complex concentrate for hemostasis after operation. Conclusions Acquired hemophilia A can cause a life-threatening hemorrhage without predictive factors. Intraoral hematoma may cause airway obstruction. There is no consensus regarding the management of hemorrhage in patients with acquired hemophilia A. As shown here, exophytic hematomas in the oral cavity can be safely removed and nasotracheal intubation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy may be useful in patients with coagulopathy disease.

Abstract
Aim:
Feedback activation of factor XI (FXI) by thrombin is believed to play a critical role in the amplification phase of thrombin generation and to contribute to thrombosis development and hemostasis. However, the activation of FXI by thrombin has been shown
in vitro
to require a cofactor. In this study, the role of thrombin in activated FXI (FXIa) formation
in vivo
is investigated.
Methods:
The study population comprised probands in whom coagulation activation was triggered by low-dose (15 µg/kg) recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa,
n
=89), of whom 34 with (VTE+) and 45 without a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE−), and patients undergoing major orthopedic surgeries (
n
=45). FXIa was quantified via an enzyme capture assay using a monoclonal FXI-specific antibody. Thrombin formation was monitored using an oligonucleotide-based enzyme capture assay and the thrombin activation markers prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) and thrombin–antithrombin complex (TAT).
Results:
In the rFVIIa cohort, FXIa and thrombin remained below their lower limit of quantification of 3.48 and 1.06 pmol/L, respectively. By contrast, during the surgeries, median FXIa levels increased from 3.69 pmol/L pre-operatively to 9.41 pmol/L mid-operatively (
P
=4·10
−4
) and remained significantly elevated 24 h thereafter, with 9.38 pmol/L (
P
=0.001). Peak levels of F1+2 were comparable in the VTE+, VTE−, and surgery cohort (235, 268, and 253 pmol/L), whereas peak TAT levels were higher in the surgery cohort (53.1, 33.9, and 147.6 pmol/L).
Conclusions:
Under
in vivo
conditions, the activation of FXI requires specific local features that are present at the wounded site including potential cofactors of thrombin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Topical hemostatic agents, used alone or in combination, have become common adjuncts to manage tissue and organ bleeding resulting from trauma and surgical procedures. Oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) is one of the most commonly used adjunctive hemostatic agents. The aim of the present study was to compare the hemostatic efficacy of a novel ORC-based product, SURGICEL® Powder Absorbable Hemostat (Surgicel-P) to that of HEMOBLAST™ Bellows (Hemoblast-B), a collagen-based combination powder. METHODS Using an established porcine liver abrasion model, we randomly tested Surgicel-P and Hemoblast-B in 60 experimental lesion sites (30 per product tested). Primary endpoints included hemostatic efficacy measured by absolute time to hemostasis (TTH) within 5 minutes. We also examined number of applications required to achieve hemostasis, and sustained hemostasis following saline irrigation of test sites that achieved hemostasis. RESULTS Surgicel-P demonstrated significantly higher hemostatic efficacy and lower TTH (p < 0.01) than Hemoblast-B. Surgicel-P-treated lesion sites achieved hemostasis in 73.3% of cases following one product application vs. 3.3% of Hemoblast-B-treated sites. Of all sites that were assessed, hemostasis was achieved and sustained following irrigation at 93.3% of Surgicel-P-treated sites vs. 50.0% of Hemoblast-B-treated sites. The average number of Surgicel-P applications per site was 51% lower than the average number of applications used for Hemoblast-B. CONCLUSION Surgicel-P provided more effective and sustained hemostasis and faster TTH than Hemoblast-B. Surgicel-P represents a novel clinical alternative to provide adjunctive control of diffuse mild and moderate bleeding. Surgicel-P combines an ORC powder formulation and a delivery system in a device that is particularly useful for application on large surfaces and difficult-to-access anatomical locations where application of other forms of topical hemostats may be impractical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Harmonic instruments are becoming popular in head and neck surgeries. In this prospective, randomized study, the efficacy of the harmonic instruments and electrosurgical technique is compared. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 48 patients undergoing unilateral neck dissection were divided into two groups. In one group, surgery was performed using conventional hemostatic instruments while in the other, only harmonic instruments were used. The two techniques were then compared with regard to intra- and post-operative blood loss, complications in operating time, drain, tracheotomy and nasogastric tube duration, and post-operative hospital stay. RESULTS Differences in operative time (P = 0.647), total suction drainage (P = 0.362) and time that drains (P = 0.404), nasogastric tube (P = 0.378), and tracheotomy (P = 0.052) were kept in place and proved not significant. The average blood loss during surgery was significantly greater in the CH group (P = 0.003) as the number of hemoclips and resorbable ligature used (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS In contrast to what has been reported up to now, our study did not reveal a net advantage in the use of harmonic instruments with respect to classical instruments in terms of surgical outcome. On the contrary, harmonic tools had a higher complication rate (i.e., salivary fistula and lymphatic leak) probably due to the decreased ability of this instruments to permanently close glandular structures and lymphatic ducts. In these cases, a closure technique such as electrocautery or classic knot-tying should be used.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thyroidectomy is the most common surgery in the cervical region. Currently, several techniques are available for intraoperative hemostasis. OBJECTIVE To compare the performance of three techniques (monopolar and bipolar electrical and ultrasonic) on operative time and postoperative complications. METHODS Patients submitted to total thyroidectomy without prior treatment were included in this prospective series study, using a scientific design. RESULTS A total of 834 patients were included; 661 women (79.3%) and 173 men (20.7%). The diagnosis was malignant neoplasia in 528 patients (63.3%) and benign disease in 306 patients (36.7%). The monopolar electric scalpel was used in 280 patients (33.6%), bipolar scalpel in 210 patients (25.2%) and ultrasonic scalpel in 344 patients (41.3%). The operative time was significantly shorter with the ultrasonic or bipolar scalpel when compared to the electric scalpel. In a linear regression model, gender, malignancy diagnosis and power energy type were significant for the procedure duration. Patients who underwent surgery with an ultrasound or bipolar scalpel had a significantly lower incidence of hypoparathyroidism. CONCLUSION The use of ultrasonic or bipolar scalpel significantly reduces operative time and the incidence of transient hypoparathyroidism.

Abstract
Despite advances in surgical technique, postoperative hemorrhage remains a common cause of mortality and morbidity for patients following tonsillectomy. Application of biomaterials at the time of tonsillectomy can potentially accelerate mucosal wound healing and eliminate the risk of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH). To understand the current state and identify possible routes for the development of the ideal biomaterials to prevent PTH, topical biomaterials for eliminating the risk of PTH were reviewed. Alternative topical biomaterials that hold the potential to reduce the risk of PTH were also summarized.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of saline-coupled bipolar sealing devices in joint arthroplasty is uncertain, and the utility in simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been reported. Methods This study compares the use of bipolar sealing and conventional electrocautery in 71 consecutive patients. The experimental and control groups were matched for age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, and preoperative hemoglobin. Variables of interest included blood loss, transfusion requirements, and operative characteristics. Results In comparison to patients treated with conventional electrocautery, those treated with the bipolar sealer were 35% less likely to require transfusion. The median number of transfusions per case was also significantly lower in the experimental group. Hemoglobin change, total blood loss, and length of stay were not significantly different between the groups. The experimental group had longer operative times. Conclusions Bipolar sealing shows promise as a blood loss reduction tool in simultaneous bilateral TKA. The marginal savings attributed to reduced transfusion rates with use of the bipolar sealer did not exceed the additional per-case expense of using the device. The decision to use the device with the goal of less blood loss must come with the additional expense associated with its use.

Abstract
Duodenal varices are a rare complication in patients with portal hypertension. Bleeding from duodenal varices often results in a severe prognosis. Diagnosis of the disease is usually based on findings obtained by endoscopy or angiography. However, it occasionally fails to detect the lesion and demonstrate its porto-systemic shunt vessels which are necessary information to decide an appropriate treatment. Recent advances in CT may make it possible for us to reveal duodenal varices with complicated porto-systemic shunt vessels. We report the case of a 58-year-old man with liver cirrhosis with repeated bleeding from duodenal varices. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed multinodular varices in the third portion of the duodenum. Then we conducted a capsule endoscopy (CE) and found fresh blood in the duodenum, suggesting duodenal variceal hemorrhage. Angiography depicted the varices with one afferent and two efferent vessels. Abdominal CT examination was conducted using a four-channel multi-detector row CT scanner. The multiplanar reconstructed images revealed not only the varices, but also three afferent and two efferent vessels. The patient was treated by surgical ligation and sclerotherapy, because of its complicated porto-systemic shunt and reserved liver function. No gastrointestinal bleeding has been seen after the surgery. Our case suggests the usefulness of multi-detector CT with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) for the diagnosis and therapeutic decision of duodenal varices.
