[Subhepatic abscess after cholecystectomy with coagulation active substance]. 1977

B Roth, and P Erne, and K Hell

4 cases of postoperative subhepatic abscess formation after cholecystectomy are reported, where absorbable hemostatic agents for control of bleeding had been used. The etiology of these complications is discussed. The use of local hemostyptica is strongly disadvised in all possibly bacteriologically contaminated procedures.

D006490	Hemostatics	Agents acting to arrest the flow of blood. Absorbable hemostatics arrest bleeding either by the formation of an artificial clot or by providing a mechanical matrix that facilitates clotting when applied directly to the bleeding surface. These agents function more at the capillary level and are not effective at stemming arterial or venous bleeding under any significant intravascular pressure.
