Test Method for Evaluation of Blood Loss and Free Bleed Time
Objective: To develop a quantitative in vivo test method for measuring acute blood loss and time to hemostasis in order to assess the hemostatic performance of investigational linear stapling and dividing devices. Methods: All animals were screened pre-operatively for clotting sufficiency. Pertinent vital parameters were also controlled within narrow limits during testing (MAP = 80… Continue Reading

CT Scan As a Complementary Study for Colon Tumor Localization
Introduction: Our hypothesis is that a CT scan may complement colonoscopy in preop localization of colon tumors.Erroneous tumor localization via colonoscopy creates a challenging intraoperative problem for surgeons. The ideal method to minimize these errors is unclear. In this study, we have examined the ability of CT scans to properly localize colon lesions, and potentially… Continue Reading
