Objectives: To compares the endoclose technique (ET) techniques and surgicel plug technique (SPT) in terms of port-site related complications. Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) are widely performed nowadays, nonetheless, port-site closure technique plays a role in the prevention of port-site related complications.
Methods: This retrospective study was carried out at general surgery and urology departments of King Fahad Medical City, Saudi Arabia. Variables that were collected include age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, co-morbidities, type and date of surgery, intraoperative visceral injury or bleeding, technique cost, and port-site post-operative complications (hernia, infection, bleeding, dehiscence, and hypertrophic scarring). Data was collected from electronic medical records. Patients included are whom underwent any minimally invasive procedure from the beginning of 2014 until the end of September 2020. Follow up period was at least for 2 years.
Results: We analyzed 397 patients. Surgicel plug technique was more of having hernia (2.3%) than of ET (0%). While ET was more on infection (0.9%) than in SPT, but no significant difference being observed (=0.064).
Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the ET and the novel SPT in terms of port-site related complications.

Cribriform CSF Leak: Endoscopic Surgical Repair Using Free Septal Mucosal Graft Without Postoperative Nasal Packs.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Ahilasamy ENT Centre, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600 042 India.
Cribriform plate is the commonest site of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, its fragility and juxtaposition of arachnoid's investment to the bone, where the olfactory nerve pierces the skull, is a vulnerable site for CSF leak. Endoscopic transnasal approach has been the main stay for CSF leak repair over the past 2 decades. The technique and surgical steps of Endoscopic Surgical Repair of Cribriform CSF Leak using Free Septal Mucosal Graft without Postoperative Nasal packs are presented.

Background: Morbid obesity is a risk for fascial wound dehiscence and incisional hernia after abdominal surgery. The development of minimally invasive surgical techniques has led to a dramatic decrease in these complications. However, laparoscopic surgery may still be followed by trocar-wound herniation.

Department of Urology, University of California-Irvine Medical Center, 101 The City Drive, Orange, CA 92868, USA.
Background And Purpose: As the indications for topical hemostatic agents increase in urology, the question arises: what happens to these agents when they enter the urinary collecting system? To answer this question, we performed a series of in-vitro experiments mixing three hemostatic agents with normal and sanguineous urine.
Materials And Methods: Four commercially available topical hemostatic products: oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel; Ethicon, Somerville, NJ), fibrin sealant (Tisseel VH Kit; Baxter Health Care Corporation, Irvine, CA), gelatin matrix hemostatic sealant (FloSeal; Baxter Health Care), and polyethylene glycol (CoSeal; Cohesion Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) were studied. Human urine (10 mL) was added to samples of each substance; this was done in triplicate.
Effects of fibrin glue on hemostasis.

In order to decrease complications following incomplete hemostasis, we tried to make a safe, efficient and highly concentrated fibrin glue by thawing single-donor fresh frozen plasma. Using a unique animal model, in which arterial bleeding was created, fibrin glue and some related hemostatic agents were tested to evaluate their hemostatic effectiveness. The results demonstrated that: 1) the concomitant use of cryoprecipitate-thrombin tissue glue with adjuvant (aprotinin or calcium chloride) had a better hemostatic effect than the use of cryoprecipitate-thrombin tissue glue alone (p < 0.
