Clinical TrialFeasibility of the use of novel matrix hemostatic sealant (FloSeal) to achieve hemostasis during laparoscopic excision of endometrioma.
To evaluate the use of FloSeal, a 2-component (collagen granules and thrombin) topical hemostatic agent for the control of minor bleeding of the ovarian wall at the end of the laparoscopic stripping procedure for endometriomas. ⋯ This preliminary series suggests that FloSeal may be used instead of bipolar electric coagulation after excision of ovarian endometriomas. Because the latter was identified by some authors as a possible cause of follicular damage, the use of FloSeal for bleeding control should be investigated in patients undergoing laparoscopic stripping of endometriomas.
