Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of absorbable platelet gel on neurosurgical operation. Methods One hundred and twenty neurosurgical patients with normal coagulation function were randomly divided into observed group (n=60) and control group (n=60). The platelet gel combined with gelatin sponge serving as hemostatic was intraoperatively applied to open wound in the observed group and only gelatin sponge in the control group. The intraoperative and postoperative hemostatic effects 24 hours after the operation were observed. Results The volume[(110±12) ml ]of drained blood was significantly more in the control group than that[(35±10) ml] in the observed group 24 hours after the operation (P<0.05). The volume[(20±15) ml]of the blood remaining in the residual cavity was significantly more in the control group than that[(5 ± 4) ml]in the observed group (P<0.05). Conclusions The absorbable hemostatic material platelet gel which has a good hemostatic effect on bleeding caused by neurosurgical operation and is of the merits such as safety and easy use, should be recommended to be used clinically in the neurosurgical patients..
