Diagnostics, Therapeutics & Surgery

In July 2009, an article that Dr. Kenneth Renkens co-authored was published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. This article was entitled “A Phase 3b, Open-Label, Single-Group Immunogenicity and Safety Study of Topical Recombinant Thrombin in Surgical Hemostatis”.

This study evaluated the affects of a topical hemostat during surgery. (Note:  a topic hemostat is used to control bleeding during spine surgery and other surgical procedures).   For an abstract of this study background and conclusions, link here. 

Dr. Kenneth Renkens is a neurosurgical spine surgeon with Indiana Spine Group.
