Oxidized cellulose for preventing adnexal adhesions. 1986

C Hixson, and L A Swanson, and C I Friedman

Oxidized cellulose gauze (Surgicel) was evaluated for its ability to prevent postsurgical pelvic adhesions. Ten New Zealand white female rabbits were subjected to laparotomy and standardized bilateral trauma to the fimbria and ovaries. On one side in each rabbit the ovary and uterine tube were wrapped in Surgicel. The untreated side in each rabbit served as the control. Four weeks later the rabbits' pelvises were reexplored, and the adhesions on both sides were scored. The overall adhesion scores on the treated sides (mean +/- SD = 4.24 +/- 1.28) were significantly higher than those on the control sides (mean +/- SD = 1.5 +/- 1.06, P less than .001). Surgicel appeared to enhance, rather than prevent, adhesion formation in the rabbits.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007813 Laparotomy Incision into the side of the abdomen between the ribs and pelvis. Minilaparotomy,Laparotomies,Minilaparotomies
D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE. Ovaries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002482 Cellulose A polysaccharide with glucose units linked as in CELLOBIOSE. It is the chief constituent of plant fibers, cotton being the purest natural form of the substance. As a raw material, it forms the basis for many derivatives used in chromatography, ion exchange materials, explosives manufacturing, and pharmaceutical preparations.
