Abstract
The first surgical procedure in microgravity using an animal model is described. The investigation resulted in a realistic evaluation of prototype hardware and procedures that could be applied to a surgical support system on Space Station Freedom. This was especially true for the issue of the management of surgical bleeding, which was observed and studied in microgravity for the first time.
