Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

Introduction

The development of fibrin sealants has been progressing; they are now often applied as fibrinogen-coated collagen patches.

Materials and methods

The concept has been increasingly applied in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, for example, following liver resection, and to some extent also in pancreatic surgery, both in order to reinforce the pancreatic anastomosis at pancreaticoduodenectomy and to seal the pancreatic stump following distal pancreatectomy.

Conclusion

High quality evidence in the form of major prospective, randomized clinical studies is still lacking on in the field of HPB. There is also an the absence of proper cost-utility analyses.
