- Abstract
This article focuses on a study related to the adhesion prevention comparing liquid and solid barriers in the rabbit uterine horn model. Adjunctive means are needed to prevent postoperative peritoneal adhesions and exclude the long-term risk of female infertility, morbidity, and mortality. This study was designed to assess the ability of four different either solid or fluid barriers to reduce adhesions in an established model of gynaecological surgery. These results prove the efficacy of phospholipids to reduce primary adhesion formation in the Chinchilla double uterine horn model compared to HA-CMC, LCC and icodextrin.
