Abstract

Preoperative localization is essential for minimally invasive colorectal surgery. However, conventional endoscopic tattooing agents such as India ink have safety issues. The availability of new endoscopic markers such as non-India-ink-based agent is limited. We assessed the efficacy and safety of preoperative endoscopic tattooing using autologous blood in colorectal surgery. From February 2016, all patients who required localization of a target lesion before colorectal surgery underwent endoscopic tattooing using autologous blood, and the outcomes were collected prospectively. As a comparison, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of a further 51 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic tattooing using India ink before February 2016. A total of 102 patients who underwent endoscopic tattooing using either India ink or autologous blood were included in this study. The primary outcomes were the visibility of the tattooing in the peritoneal cavity and related adverse events. Endoscopic tattoos produced using India ink were visible in 49 (96.1%) patients, and tattoos created using autologous blood were visible in 47 (92.2%) patients. In the autologous blood group, the tattoo could not be identified in four patients du...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
