Article Synopsis
- - Postoperative adhesions are a major problem after abdominal and pelvic surgeries, leading to complications that can arise soon after surgery or much later.
- - These adhesions occur due to surgical trauma or infection, disrupting the normal healing process in the peritoneum, where there's an imbalance between fibrin build-up and break down.
- - The paper reviews how postoperative adhesions develop and discusses different methods to potentially prevent them, using data from various medical research databases.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is presently employed across various medical disciplines, including surgical specialties. It is primarily used in the healing of chronic wounds, burn medicine, tissue regeneration support, and scar correction as well as in other surgical and orthopedic indications. Wounds, in general, possess a pro-inflammatory biochemical environment characterized by high protease activity that diminishes the effective concentration of growth factors.

Methods: We compared pig skin graft preservation using PRP versus saline solution and crystalloid Custodiol, which is used for hypothermic preservation of organs for transplantation.
Background: Blood loss during major abdominal surgery is an essential parameter in the evaluation of strategies aimed at reducing perioperative bleeding. However, blood loss quantification remains unreliable and inaccurate. The aim of this study was to compare several methods of blood loss quantification-visual estimation by surgeon and anesthesiologist, the gravimetric method, the calculation method with spectrophotometric measurement.

These findings must be viewed in connection with the clinical condition and personal history of each patient because they may also indicate a non-surgical or spontaneous pneumoperitoneum. This condition is repeatedly described but very often neglected.
