Surgeon. 2004 Dec;2(6):339-40, 361. doi: 10.1016/s1479-666x(04)80033-7.

Abstract

Haemostasis from iatrogenic solid organ injury can be difficult to achieve. We describe the use of oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel) and a Hanna-Belfast suction diathermy device to control minor solid organ haemorrhage
