... However, to our disappointment, not many well-de­signed scientific studies are available, and many anecdotic stories exist, whereas questions remain to be answered. We therefore decided to study periopera tive blood management in more detail with emphasis on the application and production of autologous platelet gel and the use of fibrin sealant.
