Intraoperative Inclusion Criterion:
\- Subject in whom bleeding (assignment of a "Bleeding Score" of 1 or 2) from the exposed parenchymal surface after ligature of vessels visible with the unaided eye and removal of any clamps used for hemostasis is observed
Intraoperative Exclusion Criterion:
\- Subject in whom any major intraoperative bleeding incidences during the resection procedure occurred (i.e., subject with assignment of an American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma Life Support Hemorrhage Class of II, III, or IV Hemorrhage)
