Hemostasis of the liver, spleen, and bone achieved by electrocautery greased with lidocaine gel

Abstract: Despite advances in surgical techniques, achieving hemostasis of the liver, spleen, and bone during major surgery, especially after trauma, is still difficult. I describe a new procedure my colleagues and I devised to achieve parenchymatous hemostasis using electrocautery greased with lidocaine gel. After achieving good results in experimental studies and obtaining approval from our ethics committee, we used electrocautery greased with lidocaine gel for hemostasis in the following 36 procedures: multisegmental… Show more

“…Electrocoagulation using lidocaine gel 2% in the bed bleeding after liver resection was irst described by Mattos Filho, et al in 2009 in rabbits [13] and reproduced by Petroianu in 2011 in humans [14]. Based in this principals we hypothetize that this kind of hemostasis will be suitable after enucleation of small renal tumors.…”

“…This work is part of an experimental research line related to trauma and hepatic operations [5][6][7][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . Initially, this study was carried out on rats and rabbits, but results achieved on that preliminary step were inconclusive, due to the lack of specificity in hepatic sclerosis and necrosis because the livers were too small.…”

“…Several methods have been described with the aim of reducing bleeding. Liver and vascular compression, arterial embolization, blood interruption by tapes or clamps, as well as previous intraparenchymal small vessels ligation and greasing the hepatic parenchyma with several different substances are well accepted procedures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] . Another possibility is the intravascular and intraparenchymal injection of sclerosing substances that seal the small vessels, controlling a diffuse hemorrhage [8][9][10][11] .…”

“…No postoperative bleeding occurred and the follow-up course was satisfactory. Electrocautery greased with lidocaine gel is an inexpensive, readily available, and efficient method to achieve hemostasis of minor vessels in hepatic, splenic, and bone operations [6]. However, electrocautery can deliver heat at a single temperature or range of temperatures, between 100°C and 1200°C.…”
