Tisseel's impact on hemostasis for 2-3 and 4-6-level lumbar laminectomies.

Conclusions: Utilizing Tisseel as a hemostatic allowed us to quantitate hemostasis (the average postoperative drainage, time to drain removal, LOS, and postoperative transfusion requirements) for those undergoing 2-3 level laminectomies vs. 4-6 level procedures with large subsets also exhibiting herniated discs, synovial cysts, and degenerative spondylolisthesis.
