Abstract
The use of Surgicel is one of the methods used to stop bleeding during various surgical operations, especially neurosurgery. The use of Surgicel may cause complications such as inflammation, delayed tissue repair, and necrosis. This case is a 60-year-old woman with a history of craniotomy and reaction to Surgicel who presented to the hospital with symptoms of seizures. The patient underwent craniotomy after a mass diagnosis in the parasagittal region. After reviewing this case, we concluded that the use of Surgicel can have complications for patients, Therefore, it is recommended to use Surgicel in the patient's body so that it is not treated as a mass, abscess, or hematoma in the postoperative period.
