Purpose The major complications of partial nephrectomy are bleeding and urine leakage. While various hemostatic agents are used to control bleeding, the histopathological characteristics of these hemostatic agents have not been investigated adequately. We aimed to investigate and compare the histopathological and hemostatic effects of local hemostatic agents in a partial nephrectomy rat model.
