Background: After laparoscopic repair of an incisive hernia, intraperitoneal prosthetic mesh,
as a foreign material, is a strong stimulus for the development of adhesion, which may be the …

204 (3), 189-194── The current study was designed to investigate the efficacy of a
hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose membrane for the prevention of post-operative …

Background: Treatment with the hyaluronan-degrading enzyme, hyaluronidase, reduces re
jection-induced interstitial edema of transplanted organs. Hyaluronidase has also been dem …

Background. Interstitial edema of rejecting tissue can be partly attributed to the local
accumulation of hyaluronan, which has strong water-binding capacity. The aim of the …

Objective: Postoperative intrapericardial adhesion increases the risk of complications in
patients undergoing reoperation. We investigated the effect of a bioabsorbable dextrin …

To the Editors: Hooker et al, in their article" Prevention of adhesion formation with use of
sodium hyaluronate-based bioresorbable membrane in a rat model of ventral hernia repair …

Objective Surgical sealant, which is used for the reinforcement of suture lines, has been
widely used in lung-resection surgeries with the aim of reducing postoperative morbidity; …

Background: A hyaluronic acid/carboxymethylcellulose (HA/CMC) membrane is an effective
measure to prevent polypropylene mesh induced adhesions. We hypothesized that …

Postsurgical peritoneal adhesion is a serious surgical complication. In situ hydrogel
formation on the surface of tissues, which will develop adhesions, is a recent feasible …

BACKGROUND: Intra-abdominal application of anti-adhesive barriers may reduce the extent
and severity of postoperative adhesions. This study was designed to compare the …
