Use of surgical sealant in debulking surgery for advanced ovarian carcinoma--case report.
Haemostatic sealants are frequently used in gynaecological surgery. Several commercial products are available with similar mechanisms of action and chemical structure. We report the use of Floseal in a laparotomy for ovarian cancer to achieve haemostasis. This is the first reported case with the successful use of Floseal in gynaecological oncology.
