For the purpose of reducing the risk of lung injury while separating adhesions in repeated
pulmonary resections, the inhibitory effect of hyaluronate based bioresorbable membrane …

OBJECTIVES Intrapleural adhesions following thoracotomy may be associated with
prolonged operating time or a higher complication rate at reoperation. The aim of this …

Background: Postoperative adhesion is a complication common to all surgical
subspecialties. TachoComb® is a collagen fleece with properties well suited to the …

Background: Recurrent thoracotomies regardless of the cause are not a rare occurrence.
However, each thoracotomy results in adhesion to some extent. This adhesions increase …

Background After thoracic surgery, adhesions between the pleura can cause substantial
complications. This study investigated the effectiveness of a novel membrane utilizing …

OBJECTIVES: Progress in medical technology and improvements in prognosis have led to
an increase in polysurgery. However, postoperative pleural adhesion leads to poor …

OBJECTIVE: Air leakage is a frequent complication during lung surgery. A new hydrogel
glue was created by mixing aldehyded dextran and ε-poly (l-lysine), and its feasibility as a …

Background: The need to prevent postoperative adhesions after surgery has been
considered a significant challenge in thoracic surgery, especially with the advent of video …

An anti‐adhesive membrane containing a large amount of glycerin was developed for lung
surgery and was tested in the pleural cavity of six dogs. The test membranes were put …

Introduction: During thoracic resection procedures, complete hemostasis and aerostasis are
priorities. A persistent alveolar air leak is associated with increased morbidity and mortality …
