Role of fibrin glue in the prevention of peritoneal adhesions in ventral hernia repair.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fibrin glue on the prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesion to prosthetic materials used in ventral hernia repair.

Methods: Ten pigs were included in this study. The abdomens of the animals were opened by means of a median subumbilical laparotomy to place four prostheses that were cut into square pieces of 4 x 4 cm.

Use of hyaluronidase cream to prevent peritoneal adhesions in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair by means of intraperitoneal mesh fixation using spiral tacks.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hyaluronidase gel on the prevention of post-operative peritoneal adhesions to prosthetic materials used in laparosopic ventral hernia repair.

Methods: Ten pigs were included in this study. The animals were anesthetized using Na-penthotal for induction and isofluorane for maintenance.

[Prevention of peritoneal adhesions to intraperitoneal prostheses. An experimental study in pigs].

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fibrin glue and hyaluronidase gel on the prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesions to intraperitoneal prostheses.

Material And Method: Twenty pigs, divided in two groups, were included. In all animals, four implants (4 x 4 cm) were placed: two polypropylene mesh implants were placed in an upper location and two polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) implants (Dualmesh Plus Corduroy) were placed in a lower position.
