title: [Laparoscopic hemostasis following liver biopsy by instillation of a gelatin cartridge].
abstract: In 1981 Dagnini introduced his bio-plug-system for laparoscopic blood coagulation. This procedure represents a valuable new technique in case of bleeding or cholorrhea after liver biopsy. In more than 85% serious bleeding events could be managed successfully. In cholorrhea we have very limited experience since we have treated only three cases so far - one without success. In spite of our good results we feel that even in the future the proven techniques of blood coagulation, i.e. instillation of thrombin and electrocoagulation, for the management of complications under a laparoscopy should be kept at hand. In case of a failure the bio-plug-procedure can barely be repeated.
