Comparison of Open Prostatectomy Patients In terms of Bleeding and Operative site Infection, with and without surgical
Abstract
Bleeding is a potential complication of any surgical procedure and creates major challenge for the surgeons and anesthesiologists. Attention to the bleeding during and postoperative period is one of the most important points of care and treatment, and rapid control of the source of bleeding is essential. There are several hemostatic techniques and equipment for preventing postoperative hemorrhage. Among the hemostatic, topical agents have been used for several decades. Their hemostatic properties are based on their ability to local activation coagulation cascade. Therefore, according to the proven effect of surgical in reducing the amount of bleeding in most surgeries, in our experimental observations on patients undergoing open prostatectomy, we did not see any difference in the amount of bleeding in patients who were implanted with surgical with a group in which surgical was not used. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of surgical in reducing postoperative complications, particularly bleeding and infection.
Method:
This study is carried out at Imam Reza Hospital in Tabriz. In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, 30 patients undergoing open prostatectomy. The patients will be randomized in one of the two groups with or without the use of surgery. During surgery, the amount of bleeding until the end of surgery in the two groups, will be investigated. All patients will be evaluated for hemoglobin, hematocrit, PT, PTT, INR and complications after transferring to the ward.
