ABSTRACT
Intracapsular nephrectomy as the standard explant technique for a unfunctional graft is associated with intra- and postoperative complications due mainly to hemorrhage, fluid collections, effusions from damaged tissues and the residual cavity. We have reported herein a positive experience with the use of a collagen medical sponge patch into the surgical site for hemostasis. Use of this device produced a reduction in postoperative bleeding and collections with shortened time of drainage, reduced infection risk, and earlier discharge.
