A new biological mesh for cut surface hemostasis in liver transplantation using technical variants.
The use of a novel biological mesh for surface hemostasis is described in pediatric liver transplantation with alternative techniques. The putative benefits of TachoSil are discussed, particularly in the context of children with impaired coagulation, including fulminant hepatic failure.
