The purpose of this study is to describe ease of use and satisfaction with application of the pre-rolled TachoSil in laparoscopic procedures within approved therapeutic indication as per Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).
The drug being observed in this study is called Tachosil. Tachosil is being used in open invasive surgery for use as a local haemostatic and tissue sealing. This study will look at the application and an overview on the ease of use of pre-rolled form of Tachosil in minimal invasive (laparoscopic) surgery, cost analysis along with the evaluation of participant's satisfaction with the product. The study will enroll approximately 131 participants who will be inpatients. A participant can be included in the study when the physician has decided to use pre-rolled TachoSil according to the local SmPC and after obtaining informed consent from the participant. Participants will be analyzed in a routine setting after surgery. Data from all participants will be collected from their files as well as study specific questions answered by the treating physician. This multi-center trial will be conducted in 7 Austrian centers. The overall recruitment period is expected for 1 year and six months. Participants will be analyzed from the date of surgery till their discharge from hospital.

Investigators Assessment of Tachosil
Investigators were asked to evaluate the overall manageability and satisfaction with TachoSil in laparoscopic surgery. The overall manageability and satisfaction of TachoSil application was assessed using Likert scale. It is a 5-point scale, that ranges from 1-5, where 1=easy to use/satisfied to 5=difficult to use/not satisfied. Higher scores indicates difficulty and less satisfaction. The mean manageability satisfaction with the application of TachoSil were reported.
Time frame: Post-surgery until hospital discharge (up to 13 days)
Duration of Hospital Stay
Time frame: From date of surgery until hospital discharge (up to 13 days)
Number of Participants With Pharmaco-economic Evaluation Based on Surgeon's Assessment
Pharmaco-economic evaluation based on surgeon's assessment included surgery time, intensive care unit (ICU) time, total care time, and other advantages. Other advantages included reduced or no risk of secondary bleeding, and the easier application and manageability.
Time frame: Intra-surgery and post-surgery until hospital discharge (up to 13 days)
Number of Participants With Intra-operative and Post-operative Adverse Events (AEs)
Time frame: Baseline up to 13 days
