Case ReportsHemostatic gelatine-thrombin matrix (Floseal®) facilitates hemostasis and organ preservation in laparoscopic treatment of tubal pregnancy.
Laparoscopic salpingotomy has become the gold standard for the treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy (TEP). Limitations for organ preservation in TEP can result from intra-operative bleeding or potential tubal damage due to application of thermal coagulation. Hemostatic gelatine-thrombin matrix Floseal® allows effective local hemostasis when sutures or thermal coagulation are inadequate or impossible. ⋯ Hemostatic gelatine-thrombin matrix Floseal® minimizes tissue damage and optimizes local hemostasis. The use of Floseal® enhances the chance of organ preservation in the laparoscopic treatment of TEP.
