Unexpected Postoperative Paraplegia after Thoracotomy in Lung Cancer: Incidental Migration of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose Used for Hemostasis of Intercostal Space Bleeding
Background: We experienced a very rare complication, that is, an unexpected postoperative paraplegia due to the incidental migration of oxidized regenerated cellulose used for hemostasis of intercostal space bleeding. Patients and Methods: The objective is to analyze the cause and to take measures against the very rare complication from an empirical analysis and the literature. For a 78-year-ol...
متن کاملPostoperative paraplegia secondary to the use of oxidized cellulose (Surgicel).
Iatrogenic paraplegia after thoracic surgery is a devastating complication. In this report, the authors present a case of paraplegia in a toddler after the resection of a mediastinal neuroblastoma. In this case, the paraplegia was caused by spinal cord compression after migration of oxidized cellulose into the spinal canal.

The appearance of an abscess resembles oxidized regenerated cellulose, causing imaging studies to be difficult to interpret. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe the cases of 3 patients who underwent oxidized regenerated cellulose placement during laparoscopic gynecolo...
متن کاملOxidised regenerated cellulose: an unusual cause of paraplegia following oesophagectomy.
Oesophageal resection after neoadjuvant therapy is the treatment of choice in localized oesophageal cancer. Common complications after oesophagectomy include pulmonary infection and anastomotic leaks. Paraplegia or paraparesis after oesophagectomy is an extremely uncommon occurrence and has not been reported in medical literature. Possible causes include injury to the spinal cord due to epidura...
متن کاملEfficacy of Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose, SurgiGuard®, in Porcine Surgery
PURPOSE Adequate hemostasis is important for postoperative outcomes of abdominal surgery. This study evaluated the hemostatic effects and accompanying histopathological changes of a novel oxidized regenerated cellulose, SurgiGuard®, during abdominal surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten pigs underwent wedge resection of the spleen (1×1 cm) and liver (1.5×1.5 cm). The resected surface was covered...
