TUMOR, INTRAOPERATIVE BLEEDING

✓ Intraoperative bleeding occurs commonly with tumor resection, especially during rectal and gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).✓ Management of intraoperative bleeding with hemostatic forceps is crucial to the success of ESD.✓ TDM-621, a synthetic, self-assembling peptide derived from nonliving sources, may help with hemostasis.
