Aim Postoperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) is one of the major complications that is
mainly caused by postoperative adhesion. Recently, the antiadhesion membrane has …

Aim Adhesive small bowel obstructions (SBO) are one of the most common complications
following abdominal surgery, and they decrease patient quality of life. Since 2000 …

Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) has a significant impact on quality of life and
medical costs. However, data about ASBO after gastrectomy remain sparse. From January …

Purpose It is predictable that since distal gastrectomy (DG) with Billroth I anastomosis
involves no procedures caudal to transverse colon, the effects of the surgical wound are the …

Postoperative adhesion is a frequent problem in patients undergoing surgery. In particular,
gastrectomy is associated with a high risk of bowel obstruction. However, there are few …

Purpose The effectiveness of using anti-adhesion agents in laparoscopic surgery is
controversial. We compared the outcomes of patients exposed to anti-adhesion agents …

Objectives: The protective efficacy of an absorptive adhesion prevention product
(Seprafilm®) against bowel obstruction (BO) during open surgery was demonstrated in a …

Background Seprafilm did not decrease small bowel obstruction (SBO), but significantly
decreased reoperation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. However, the …

Background: Guardix-SG is a poloxamer-based antiadhesive agent. The aim of this study
was to investigate its efficacy in preventing abdominal adhesions in gastric cancer patients …

Background It is considered that laparoscopic surgery is associated with a much lower rate
of postoperative formation of adhesions than open surgery. This meta-analysis assessed the …
