Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: None

Interventions: intervention 1: TachoSil®
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Sterile, ready-to-use, absorbable sponge for intra-operative topical application. It consists of an equine collagen sponge coated with the fibrin glue components human fibrinogen and human thrombin.

Surgery was performed according to the hospitals' local standards. When the anastomosis was performed, all enrolled subjects had TachoSil® applied around the anastomotic line. TachoSil® was therefore an add-on therapy.
