Abstract
BARAN, Necip T.; OKUT, Gokalp and PEKCICI, Mevlut R.. Effects of 4% ıcodextrine, magnesium sulfate, and 0.9% sodium chloride on postoperative intraabdominal adhesions. Cir. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.2, pp.151-156. Epub May 02, 2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000162.
Objective:
Postoperative intraabdominal adhesions are obvious cause of postoperative morbidity. In this experimental study, our aim is to compare the effects of 4% icodextrin produced for adhesion prevention, magnesium sulfate used as an anticonvulsant in obstetrics and also as a thickening lubricant in the detergent industry, and saline, which we use most frequently in abdominal irrigation, on adhesion formation.
Materials and methods:
A total of 4 groups were formed, 8 in the control group (K), 8 in the icodextrin group (I), 8 in the magnesium sulfate group (M), and 8 in the saline group (SF). Adhesions were quantitatively evaluated with the classification defined by Nair and microscopic grading defined by Zuhlke.
Results:
The macroscopic staging degree was statistically significantly lower in Group M, I, and SF compared to Group K. Again, the degree of microscopic staging was significantly lower in Group M and I compared to Group K.
Conclusions:
Three different materials were used in our study. It was observed that they significantly reduced adhesions. This study once again demonstrates the limited ability of these materials to prevent adhesion, despite the wide variety of materials used, and the need for careful adherence to tissue-respectful surgical techniques.
