Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess whether the medical device Hemopatch, has a higher efficacy in obtaining hemostasis during liver resection than Tachosil;Secondary Objective: To assess whether the medical device Hemopatch, has a lower rate of post-operative complications than Tachosil within 30 days.;Primary end point(s): Immediate failure-rate of Hemostatic patch. Failure is defined as: • Inability to stop non-arterial bleeding from the area covered by the agent/patch - Blood oozing from the rims of the patch or hematoma formation between the patch and the surface. • The patch slips completely or partly from the covered area. All 4 sides of the patch should adhere tightly to the surface. • The patch perforates or disintegrates during manipulation. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Each patch is assessed after application, thus per-operative evaluation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Perioperative bleeding. • Postoperative bile leakage • Length of admission/in-hospital stay. • Intraabdominal absces formation. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 day follow up after surgery.
