Abstract
AbstractHemostasis is the term that refers to the typical response of the vessel to injury by activation of the blood clotting mechanism to limit bleeding. It has been an essential goal in any surgery to maintain hemostasis by restricting the blood loss thus reducing the need for blood transfusion and its complications. Hemostasis is more prudent during laparoscopic surgery where the intervention is performed through small incisions using the camera and specialized instruments, as even minor bleeding may affect visualization, the safety and quality of the procedure, and patient outcome.
