Evaluation of a Bioresorbable Hyaluronate Membrane for Prevention of Experimentally Induced Abdominal Adhesions in Horses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of a bioresorbable, hyaluronate membrane during exploratory celiotomy in horses minimizes postoperative intra-abdominal adhesion formation. In horses at an increased risk of intra-abdominal adhesion formation, the application of hyaluronate membranes during exploratory celiotomy may reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with abdominal surgery.

How to Apply a Bioresorbable Hyaluronate Membrane for the Prevention of Postoperative Adhesions in Horses
Postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions are a significant complication of horses undergoing abdominal surgery, intestinal resection, and anastomosis for intestinal diseases. The use of a bioresorbable, hyaluronate (HA-) membrane may reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with surgical intestinal diseases in horses. Specific indications, method of application, and advantages and disadvant...

متن کاملEvaluation of the xenobiotic reaction against hyaluronate-based bioresorbable membrane in the abdominal cavity
Postoperative abdominal adhesions are one of the most common post-laparotomy complications observed. Several types of adhesion preventative agents are available and their effectiveness and adverse impact have been clinically evaluated in previous studies. However, few basic studies have tested whether those agents do not trigger any unwanted xenobiotic reaction, which makes some surgeons hesita...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Novel Method of Jejunal Anastomosis in Horses Using a Hyaluronate Membrane
A single-layer, appositional, end-to-end anastomosis covered by a bioresorbable, hyaluronate membrane is an effective method for small intestinal anastomosis in horses. This technique provides a larger stomal diameter and reduced surgery times as compared to standard inverting anastomotic techniques, and minimizes the incidence of intra-abdominal adhesion formation. Authors’ addresses: Departme...
متن کاملComparison of Intraperitoneal Honey and Sodium Hyaluronate-Carboxymethylcellulose (Seprafilm™) for the Prevention of Postoperative Intra-Abdominal Adhesions
BACKGROUND Abdominal surgery can lead to postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions (PIAAs) with significant morbidity and mortality. This study compares the use of honey with a standard bioresorbable membrane (SEPRAFILM) to prevent the formation of PIAAs in rats. METHODS Thirty rats underwent laparotomy, and PIAAs were induced by scraping the cecum. The animals were divided into three groups, e...
