Comparison of 4% icodextrin and auto-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel in terms of efficacy and cost effectivity in preventing postoperative abdominal adhesions
Abstract:This experimental study was designed to compare the effects and costs of 4% icodextrin and hyaluronic acid in intraabdominal adhesion formation in rats. This study included 30 healthy Wistar albino rats, each weighing 250-300 gr. Following cecal-ileal abrasion to rats in each group, the following treatments were applied: Group 1 (control, n:10) 5 ml saline irrigation; Group 2 (n:10) 5 ml 4% icodextrin solution; Group 3 (n:10) 3 ml auto-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel. After 14 days, following a second operatio… Show more
