<br><b>Introduction:</b> Postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions are a clinical condition that may develop after any abdominal surgery and constitute the leading cause of mechanical small bowel obstructions.</br> <br><b>Aim:</b> This study investigates factors which influence the formation of postoperative adhesion and evaluates the efficiency of applying minimally invasive surgical techniques in reducing adhesion.</br> <br><b>Material and methods:</b> Patients who underwent surgery to diagnose obstructive ileus in our clinic between January 2015 and January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.

The PF is considered as the root cause of other major complications of PD. The aim of the study was to investigate the risk factors underlying PF that occurred after PD and the effects of the PF on postoperative morbidity.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of a 4% icodextrin solution on preventing adhesions and its impact on anastomotic healing in rats, comparing various groups manipulated with icodextrin and surgical procedures.
- Results showed that icodextrin significantly reduced adhesion scores compared to control groups, although it did not affect the healing of anastomoses between groups.
- Biochemical analyses indicated that icodextrin treatment led to higher hydroxyproline levels and lower myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels, demonstrating its efficacy in minimizing adhesions without compromising healing.
