There has been a recent and near exponential increase in the use of haemostatic agents and sealants to supplement the rapidly evolving methods in the surgical management of urological patients. To understand the role of the modern haemostatic matrix in the field of Urology, a symposium organised by the Hong Kong Urological Association (HKUA) invited Professor Marcin Słojewski, a renowned Professor in Urology to share his expertise. Prof. Słojewski briefly introduced his role as a surgeon in Szczecin and the evolution of surgery from open surgery to robotic surgery. This was then followed by a brief discussion on bleeding prevention techniques used intraoperatively and the importance of haemodynamic monitoring both intra- and postoperatively. Prof. Słojewski then highlighted the practical application of fibrin sealant patch in Urological surgeries, which included tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), robotic partial nephrectomy, and robotic radical prostatectomy. He reiterated that clinical benefits of medicated sponge with human thrombin and human fibrinogen in Urology include enhanced haemostasis, shorter hospital stay, and lower incidence of urine leakage. His final remarks for the symposium was that medicated sponge with human thrombin and human fibrinogen is efficacious and a valuable tool for improving surgical outcomes, in addition to the patient safety.
