Postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In this study, the effect of topical fibrin glue (FG) on adhesion formation in a rat model was investigated. Forty Sprague-Dawley male rats underwent midline laparotomy. Bilateral peritoneal-muscular abdominal wall defects were created and then replaced with premeasured soft tissue Goretex patches. Rats were randomized to FG sprayed over the patches or to a control group. Two observers blinded to the randomization assessed the severity of adhesions to the patch by scoring the density of adhesions (grades 0-3) and the percentage of the patch area covered by adhesions (0-100%). The mean percentage of the patch covered by adhesions was 32.8 +/- 6.1 per cent for the FG group versus 57.9 +/- 6.7 per cent for the control group (P < 0.01). The mean density of adhesions for the FG group was 0.95 (+/-0.17) versus 2.0 (+/-0.21) for the control group (P = 0.001). Topical FG reduces the severity and density of intra-abdominal adhesions in a rat model.  相似文献

Our previous studies demonstrated fibrin glue (FG) prepared from cryoprecipitate (cryo) inhibits intra-abdominal adhesions in rats. A new FG, Hemaseel APR, is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for hemostasis during cardiac surgery and splenic trauma. This study was undertaken to determine if Hemaseel FG prevents intra-abdominal adhesions, and to compare it to cryo FG. Forty-five rats underwent laparotomy. Bilateral peritoneal-muscular defects were created. Polypropylene mesh was sewn into each defect with a running silk suture. The bowel was abraded with gauze. The rats were then randomized to mesh covered with Hemaseel FG, cryo FG, or control. On postoperative day 7, the severity of adhesions were graded by percentage of mesh covered by adhesion (0-100%) and degree of adhesion (0-3). The mean percentage of mesh covered by adhesion was 9% for Hemaseel FG, 43% for cryo FG (p = .005), and 65% for the controls (p < .0001). The mean density adhesion score was 0.5 for Hemaseel FG, 1.2 for cryo FG (p = .04), and 2.1 for the controls (p < .0001). In the Hemaseel FG group, 77% of patches had no adhesions, compared with 37% in the cryo FG group (p = .004) and 13% in the controls (p < .0001). Thus, Hemaseel FG significantly decreases intra-abdominal adhesions, and is more effective than cryo FG.  相似文献

Autologous fibrin gel (FG) has recently been reported efficacious in hepatic injury; the effects of fibrin compounds on intra-abdominal adhesion formation is controversial. This study evaluated intra-abdominal adhesion formation in a rabbit devascularization model. Seventeen New Zealand rabbits were anesthetized and laparotomy was done. The uterine horns were abraded to punctate bleeding followed by bilateral uterine devascularization. Treatment consisted of 10 cc saline control (c) or FG applied to the uterine horns. Peritoneal lavage was done at 15 minutes for red blood cell (RBC) analysis. Autopsy was performed at 1 week. Adhesions were graded from grade 0 (no adhesions) to grade III (dense adhesions). Adhesion grading revealed no difference in average adhesion grade between FG and C with small bowel (1.0 +/- 1.3 vs 0.5 +/- 1.0); bladder (2.1 +/- 1.1 vs 2.4 +/- 1.2); or uterus (1.2 +/- vs 2.0 +/- 1.2). Adhesion grade was significantly less in FG compared to C for the colon and the abdominal incision (0.4 +/- 0.5 vs 1.7 +/- 1.1 and 1.2 +/- 1.1 vs 3.0 +/- 1.2; P less than 0.05 by t-test). There were no differences in lavage RBC count between FG and C (13.1 x 106 +/- 4.1 x 10(6) vs 8.7 x 106 +/- 3.2 x 10(6)). Fibrin gel significantly decreased incisional and colonic adhesions and reduced other abdominal adhesion formation by a nonhemostatic dependent mechanism.  相似文献

Fibrin glue inhibits intra-abdominal adhesion formation   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
To determine the effect of fibrin glue on intra-abdominal adhesion formation, 45 rats were randomized to three groups. Each animal received two adhesion models. Group 1 received no further treatment. Groups 2 and 3 had the adhesion models covered with fibrinogen from fresh frozen plasma (1.77 g/L) and cryoprecipitate (23.6 g/L), respectively. In group 1, 13 of 15 rats had high-grade adhesions in both models. In group 2, high-grade adhesions were noted in nine of 15 rats in model 1 and in 12 of 15 rats in model 2. In group 3, however, high-grade adhesions were seen in only three of 15 rats in model 1, with 11 rats having no adhesions, and in only two of 15 rats in model 2. Histologic analysis suggested accelerated healing in group 3. We conclude that (1) fibrin glue inhibits intra-abdominal adhesion formation in rats, (2) the inhibitory action is dependent on the fibrinogen concentration of the fibrin glue, and (3) adhesions are reduced by fibrin glue regardless of whether the peritoneal defect is closed.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: using a rabbit vascular graft model we investigated the use of fibrin glue (FG), gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde (GRF), and collagen (C) as a means of reducing suture hole bleeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS: twenty-eight rabbits were divided into four groups: fibrin glue, gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde, collagen and control. A 1 cm incision was made in the abdominal aortic wall of each animal. Incisions were covered with a polytetrafluoroethylene patch sutured with a 7-0 polypropylene. Fibrin Glue, GRF, and C were applied to cover suture holes in the groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, but nothing in controls (group 4). The fibrin clot was allowed to achieve strength for 3 minutes before the clamps were reopened. After reopening the clamps, blood was collected from the surgical site using a syringe for a total of 2 min. RESULTS: mean blood loss was significantly lower in the FG, GRF, and C compared with control group (p=0.0022, p=0.0022, and p=0.0017, respectively). The volume of blood lost and the time of haemostasis in the group 1 (FG) was less than those in groups 2 and 3 (GRF and C, respectively) (p=0.001). The haemostasis (defined 2 min later) was achieved only in group 1 (FG) (p=0.00067). CONCLUSIONS: FG, GRF and C all reduce blood loss. Fibrin glue containing factor XIII was the most effective.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: In spinal surgery, repair of the dura is difficult when it is torn or fragile or is ossified as in cases with ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament. We report our experience with a nonsuture dural repair technique in patients undergoing spinal surgery; it uses a dura substitute composed of polyglycolic acid (PGA) mesh and fibrin glue. Here, we report the efficacy and safety of nonsuture duroplasty using PGA mesh and fibrin glue (PGA-fibrin sheet). METHODS: The artificial dura mater is composed of a PGA-fibrin sheet. The dural defect is covered with a patch sprayed with fibrin glue without suturing to the dura mater. We first evaluated this technique in an experimental study by performing water leakage tests. Between May 2001 and January 2005, we used it in 160 spinal surgeries that required intraoperative dura repair. RESULTS: Our preliminary tests showed that the threshold for water pressure without leakage was 161 +/- 42 and 96.5 +/- 32 mm Hg when the unsprayed margin around the perimeter of the patch was 5 and 2 mm, respectively. Of the 160 operated patients, 10 (6.3%) experienced subcutaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage. Of these, 6 required a second operation; in the other 4, the CSF collection diminished spontaneously. There were no other complications such as allergic reaction, adhesion, or infection. CONCLUSION: In combination with CSF diversion, the PGA-fibrin sheet is a viable alternative method for dural repair in spinal surgery.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Placement of an external support has been reported to prevent intimal hyperplasia of vein grafts. However, it's application limited by potential complications. Peri-adventitial gene delivery is a promising alternative therapy to reduce intimal hyperplasia, but it is limited by low and transient levels of gene transfection. To get more effective inhibition of intimal hyperplasia and to avoid the limitations associated with these two approaches, a study was undertaken to investigate whether mixing adenovirus with fibrin glue may increase the level and prolong the time period of gene expression. METHODS: Right jugular vein to common carotid artery interposition grafting was performed in 36 male New Zealand white rabbits (2.5-3.0 kg) and the animals were divided into four groups: control group (n = 6); fibrin glue group (n = 6); Ad-GAL group (n = 12); fibrin glue/Ad-GAL group (n = 12). Commercially available fibrin glue and adenovirus expressing the gene for beta-galactosidase (Ad-GAL) was applied separately or in mixing around vein grafts. At 7th day and 14th day after implantation, the grafts were harvested to evaluate transfection rate. At 28th day the grafts were harvested for morphometric analysis. RESULTS: Compared with weak staining in 2.1 +/- 0.5% in Ad-GAL alone grafts, a high level of beta-Galactosidase staining was evident in 13.2 +/- 4.6% in fibrin glue/Ad-GAL grafts at 7th day (P < 0.001). At 14th day, almost no staining (0%) was detected in Ad-GAL alone grafts. However, there was still a relative high level staining (6.3 +/- 3.8%) in fibrin glue/Ad-GAL grafts (P < 0.001 versus Ad-GAL alone group). At 28th day, a statistically significantly decrease in neointimal area (0.68 +/- 0.06 mm(2)versus 1.00 +/- 0.08 mm(2), P < 0.05) was shown in fibrin glue grafts compared with unsupported vein grafts (control group). The same statistically significantly difference was also existed in fibrin glue/Ad-GAL group and unsupported group in neointimal area (0.66 +/- 0.07 mm(2), P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A novel method of adventitial gene delivery using fibrin glue as external support is proposed. Fibrin glue may be an ideal candidate for controlled release delivery that would facilitate adventitial gene transfer.  相似文献

PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of a single intraperitoneal administration of a chondroitin sulfate solution in preventing postoperative adhesion formation. METHODS. Twenty-five Sprague-Dawley rats had a 1-cm(2) area of cecal serosa abraded. Controls (CON, n = 5) received no treatment, the chondroitin sulfate group (CS, n = 10) received chondroitin sulfate (0.013 g/kg) in 0.9% NaCl intraperitoneally (ip), and vehicle controls (VC, n = 10) received an equal volume of 0.9% NaCl solution ip before the abdomen was closed. All animals were sacrificed on postoperative day 10. The extent of adhesion was quantified according to Mazuji's adhesion grade (0 to 4: 0 = no adhesion and 4 = very dense adhesion) and quantitated after H&E, trichome, and immunohistochemical staining for fibrin and collagen type I and type III using digital image analysis. RESULTS: The mean Mazuji's adhesion grade in the CON was 4.0 +/- 0.0, in the VC 2.60 +/- 0.37, and in the CS 1.3 +/- 0.42 (P < 0.01 for CS vs CON and P < 0.05 for CS vs VC comparisons). The mean gray-scale intensity (0-255: 0 = dense amount and 255 = none) of adhesion density in the CON was 105. 5 +/- 5.5, in the VC 125 +/- 15.0, and in the CS 178.3 +/- 21.0 (P < 0.01 for CS vs CON and P < 0.05 for CS vs VC comparisons). The mean adjusted intensity stain indices (AISI) for fibrin and collagen type I in the CON were 59 +/- 17 and 53 +/- 19, in the VC 27 +/- 3 and 25 +/- 7, and in the CS 16 +/- 5 and 6 +/- 3, respectively (P < 0.05 between CS and CON comparisons). The AISI of collagen type III was not significant among all the groups (P > 0.1). CONCLUSIONS: The extent of early postoperative intra-abdominal adhesion formation as determined by gross assessment and from quantitation of fibrin and collagen type I deposition was significantly reduced by a single intraperitoneal administration of a chondroitin sulfate solution.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The development of intra-abdominal adhesions, bowel obstruction, and enterocutaneous fistulas are potentially severe complications related to the intraperitoneal placement of prosthetic biomaterials. The purpose of this study was to determine the natural history of adhesion formation to polypropylene mesh and two types of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) mesh when placed intraperitoneally in a rabbit model that simulates laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were used for this study. A 10-cm midline incision was performed for intra-abdominal access and a 2 cm x 2 cm piece of mesh (n = 60) was sewn to an intact peritoneum on each side of the midline. Two types of ePTFE mesh (Dual Mesh and modified Dual Mesh, W.L. Gore & Assoc., Flagstaff, AZ) and polypropylene mesh were compared. The rate of adhesion formation was evaluated by direct visualization using microlaparoscopy (2-mm endoscope/trocar) at 7 days, 3 weeks, 9 weeks, and 16 weeks after mesh implantation. Adhesions to the prosthetic mesh were scored for extent (%) using the Modified Diamond Scale (0 = 0%, 1 50%). At necropsy the mesh was excised en bloc with the anterior abdominal wall for histological evaluation of mesothelial layer growth. RESULTS: The mean adhesion score for the polypropylene mesh was significantly greater (P < 0.05) than Dual Mesh at 9 weeks and 16 weeks and modified Dual Mesh at 7 days, 9 weeks, and 16 weeks. Fifty-five percent (n = 11) of the polypropylene mesh had adhesions to small intestine or omentum at necropsy compared to 30% (n = 6) of the Dual Mesh and 20% (n = 4) of the modified Dual Mesh. There was a significantly greater percentage (P < 0.003) of ePTFE mesh mesothelialized at explant (modified Dual Mesh 44.2%; Dual Mesh 55.8%) compared to the polypropylene mesh (12.9%). CONCLUSIONS: Serial microlaparoscopic evaluation of intraperitoneally implanted polypropylene mesh and ePTFE mesh in a rabbit model revealed a progression of adhesions to polypropylene mesh over a 16 week period. The pore size of mesh is critical in the development and maintenance of abdominal adhesions and tissue ingrowth. The macroporous polypropylene mesh promoted adhesion formation, while the microporous nature of the visceral side of the ePTFE served as a barrier to adhesions.  相似文献

After laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, the nature of the adhesions to fixation materials or to mesh had not been clarified. We examined adhesion formation specific to the fixation material in rats. We designed an experimental laparoscopy setup, and placed four intraperitoneal fixation materials on the peritoneum of rats without a mesh graft. Another group of researchers documented the incidence and intensity of postoperative adhesion formation. The adhesion scores for the nickel-titanium anchor were significantly greater than those for polylactic acid (p = 0.004), a titanium tacker (p < 0.0001), and fibrin glue (p < 0.0001). No adhesions occurred in the fibrin glue group. Fibrin glue is the preferred fixation material because it produced no postoperative adhesions. The nickel-titanium anchor produced heavy adhesions but may be applicable for recurrent hernia cases and in patients with thin abdominal walls.  相似文献

Recent reports suggest that fibrin glue can be used to seal porous vascular grafts prior to insertion, but this ability has not been quantitatively compared to existing methods. We compared blood loss from and handling characteristics of grafts pretreated with either fibrin glue (FG) (Tisseel), albumin autoclaving (AA), or blood preclotting (BP). Five 6-cm segments of 6-mm internal diameter grafts, both knitted and woven double velour Dacron were treated in each group (30 specimens). Human blood was forced through the BP group until clotted; AA segments were soaked in 25% human albumin and autoclaved for 10 min; FG segments were treated with a topical application of Tisseel (0.5 ml/graft) followed by treatment with topical thrombin + CACl (0.5 ml/graft). Graft ends were sealed and attached to a transducer/syringe pump mechanism which pumped heparinized human blood into the graft at 100 mm Hg intraluminal pressure. All blood that leaked through the grafts over 2 min was collected and the amount was averaged for the five grafts in each group. Graft handling was characterized as either pliable or stiff. Blood pretreatment caused 21 +/- 2 and 13 +/- 4 cc/2 min of leak in knitted and woven grafts, respectively. Albumin autoclaving resulted in 9 +/- 2 and 1 +/- 0.5 cc of leak (P less than 0.01 compared to blood), while fibrin glue produced 2 +/- 2 and 0.4 +/- 0.5 cc leaks (P less than 0.01 compared to blood). Both blood and fibrin glue produced soft pliable grafts, while albumin pretreatment resulted in stiff grafts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to measure the extent of adhesion formation to ePTFE mesh (DualMesh, W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc, Flagstaff, AZ) and two composite prosthetic materials, ePTFE and polypropylene (Bard Composix, C.R. Bard, Inc, Murray Hill, NJ) and hyaluronic acid/carboxymethylcellulose and polypropylene (Sepramesh, Genzyme Corp, Cambridge, MA) after their intra-abdominal placement on an intact peritoneum, simulating laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, and to evaluate host tissue response to the prosthetic biomaterials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Through a midline laparotomy, a 2 x 2 cm piece of mesh (n = 60) was sewn to an intact peritoneum on each side of a midline incision in 30 New Zealand white rabbits. Mesh adhesions were scored using a modified Diamond scale (0 = 0%, 1 = 1-25%, 2 = 26-50%, 3 >50%) at 1, 3, 9, and 16 weeks by serial microlaparoscopy (2 mm). All laparoscopic evaluations were videotaped for blinded scoring by three surgeons. Host tissue response was graded (1-4) for inflammation, tissue ingrowth, and mesothelialization. The predominant cell type (polymorphonuclear leukocytes versus foreign body giant cell) was recorded. Statistical differences (P value <0.05*) were measured using a two-tailed t test and Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS: The mean adhesion score was significantly (P < 0.001) less for ePTFE mesh at 1, 3, 9, and 16 weeks compared with the two composite prosthetic materials. There were no differences in the mean adhesion scores between the two biosurgical composite meshes at any of the time intervals. There were no differences in the mean score for inflammation, tissue ingrowth and mesothelialization between any of the prosthetic biomaterials. The predominant cell type on all histological evaluations was polymorphonuclear leukocytes. CONCLUSIONS: Placing ePTFE mesh (DualMesh) intra-abdominal against an intact peritoneum results in significantly fewer adhesions than the composite prosthetic meshes during a 4-month follow-up. The host tissue response is equivalent for the three prosthetic biomaterials. The long-term consequences of increased adhesion formation to the composite meshes and the ultimate biocompatibility of the nonabsorbable and absorbable barriers on the polypropylene mesh are to be determined.  相似文献

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 × 4 cm. The two prostheses in the most cephalic position were polypropylene meshes, and the other two prostheses in a more caudal position were expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prostheses (Dualmesh Plus Corduroy). The prostheses on the right side of each animal were previously impregnated with fibrin glue. After 5 weeks, the animals were reoperated on to assess the quantity and quality (consistency) of the adhesions. Results There were fewer intraperitoneal adhesions and they were more labile in the case of prostheses impregnated with fibrin glue. Moreover, we also observed that in many of the animals the polypropylene mesh did not show any adhesions, although polypropylene has been considered to be a typical adhesion producing material. Conclusions Fibrin glue reduces both the quantity and consistency of adhesions, even in the case of polypropylene meshes.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to investigate if the strength and quality of an abdominal wall repair with a resorbable PGA (polyglycolic acid) mesh can be improved by fibrin glue or releasates from platelets. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An abdominal wall defect in the rat was repaired using a PGA mesh in a sublay technique (CG) alone and either with additional fibrin glue (FG) or with platelet releasates (REL). Endpoints were clinical herniation pressure and hydroxyproline concentration (HP) as well as number of fibroblasts and collagen fibers at 7, 14, and 90 days after implantation. RESULTS: In both experimental groups (REL and FG) higher herniation pressures, hydroxyproline contents, and number of fibroblasts/collagen fibers were found at all times of measurement compared to the CG. The PGA mesh alone showed a significant lack of stability after 14 days which can be compensated for by the investigated components. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed regarding the herniation pressure (REL vs CG at 7 and 14 days; FG vs CG at 14 days) and the number of collagen fibers (REL vs CG at 14 days). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the quality of a PGA mesh repair can be improved by application of fibrin glue or platelet releasates in the described experimental setting.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Adhesion formation following abdominal wall hernia repair with prosthetic mesh may lead to intestinal obstruction and enterocutaneous fistula. Physical barriers, namely, human amniotic membrane (HAM) or Seprafilm (Genzyme, Cambridge, Mass., USA), a bio-absorbable, translucent membrane composed of carboxymethylcellulose and hyaluronic acid, have been reported to prevent postsurgical intra-abdominal adhesions. OBJECTIVE: Evaluating the effect of HAM and Seprafilm in preventing adhesion formation in the rat model of ventral hernia repair with polypropylene mesh (PPM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups. A full-thickness abdominal wall defect was created in each animal. Control animals had the PPM sutured into the defect, whereas in the other two groups, either HAM or Seprafilm were laid over the abdominal viscera before the repair with PPM. Half of the animals in each group were sacrificed on the 21st postoperative day. The remaining rats of the same group were re-operated on the 42nd day for investigation and measurement of the adhesion area in relation to the graft area. RESULTS: Direct mesh repair showed 52.8 and 56% area adhesion formation 3 and 6 weeks postoperatively, respectively. The HAM barrier covered with mesh repair demonstrated 0 and 0.96% area adhesion formation, and the Seprafilm-covered mesh repair showed 0 and 0% area adhesion formation 3 and 6 weeks postoperatively, respectively. Uncovered mesh showed a significantly larger adhesion area than both covered mesh (p = 0.001 and 0.001). Both HAM and Seprafilm were equally effective in preventing postoperative adhesions. CONCLUSIONS: HAM and Seprafilm proved to be an effective antiadhesive barrier in PPM repair of abdominal wall hernia.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy, amount of hemorrhage, biliary leakage, complications, and postoperative evolution after fibrin glue sealant application in patients undergoing liver resection. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Fibrin sealants have become popular as a means of improving perioperative hemostasis and reducing biliary leakage after liver surgery. However, trials regarding its use in liver surgery remain limited and of poor methodologic quality. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 300 patients undergoing hepatic resection were randomly assigned to fibrin glue application or control groups. Characteristics and debit of drainage and postoperative complications were evaluated. The amount of blood loss, measurements of hematologic parameters liver test, and postoperative evolution (particularly involving biliary fistula and morbidity) was also recorded. RESULTS: Postoperatively, no differences were observed in the amount of transfusion (0.15 +/- 0.66 vs. 0.17 +/- 0.63 PRCU; P = 0.7234) or in the patients that required transfusion (18% vs. 12%; P = 0.2), respectively, for the fibrin glue or control group. There were no differences in overall drainage volumes (1180 +/- 2528 vs. 960 +/- 1253 mL) or in days of postoperative drainage (7.9 +/- 5 vs. 7.1 +/- 4.7). Incidence of biliary fistula was similar in the fibrin glue and control groups, (10% vs. 11%). There were no differences regarding postoperative morbidity between groups (23% vs. 23%; P = 1). CONCLUSIONS: Application of fibrin sealant in the raw surface of the liver does not seem justified. Blood loss, transfusion, incidence of biliary fistula, and outcome are comparable to patients without fibrin glue. Therefore, discontinuation of routine use of fibrin sealant would result in significant cost saving.  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We have widely used a Ho:YAG laser to treat bullae thoracoscopically. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bullae with broad necks were treated with a Ho:YAG laser thoracoscopically. Because one patient relapsed after application of fibrin glue in the early period, a DEXON (polyglycolic acid) mesh patch soaked in fibrin glue was used through a 2-cm opening in the subsequent cases. Lastly, gelatin-resorcinol formaldehyde-glutaraldehyde (GRFG) glue was applied through a 5-mm opening instead of a DEXON mesh after coagulation. RESULTS: In the 38 patients patched with DEXON mesh soaked in fibrin glue and 56 patched with GRFG glue after coagulation, none relapsed. CONCLUSION: Combined uses of fibrin glue plus DEXON mesh or GRFG glue were effective when bullae were treated with the Ho:YAG laser. However, the wound was smaller and more cosmetic in the GRFG glue group than in the DEXON mesh plus fibrin glue group.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: This study was done (1) to determine whether congenital indirect inguinal hernias in male pigs could be repaired by placing a polypropylene mesh prosthesis over the defect intra-abdominally, (2) to measure the incidence of adhesions between intra-abdominal viscera and the prosthesis with and without the adhesion barrier oxidized regenerated cellulose, (3) to determine the incidence of other complications, and (4) to assess the effect on fertility. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Several techniques for laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy are currently being evaluated to determine whether there are advantages over conventional inguinal herniorrhaphy. Perhaps the most controversial is the intraperitoneal onlay mesh procedure (IPOM). Its advantage is its simplicity (in that the repair is accomplished by placing a prosthesis over the hernia defect intra-abdominally, avoiding a groin dissection). Its disadvantage is the potential for complications because the prosthesis is in contact with the intra-abdominal viscera. METHODS: In male pigs, polypropylene mesh alone or polypropylene mesh plus the adhesion barrier oxidized regenerated cellulose (composite prosthesis) was fixed to the peritoneum surrounding the hernia defect. In phase 1 (6-week follow-up), two groups of 13 pigs each underwent herniorrhaphy at laparotomy or laparoscopy. In phase 2 (7.1-month follow-up), 21 pigs underwent laparoscopic herniorrhaphy. RESULTS: All IPOM herniorrhaphies were successful. The prostheses adhered most frequently to the bladder, followed by small bowel, peritoneum, and cord structures. Prosthetic erosion into these organs was not observed. Laparoscopically placed prostheses in phases 1 and 2 had significantly less surface covered by adhesions (13% +/- 13% and 19% +/- 27%, respectively) and a lower adhesion tenacity grade (1.5 +/- 0.9 and 1.3 +/- 1.1, respectively) than those placed at laparotomy (44% +/- 27% and 2.5 +/- 0.7, respectively; p < 0.01). In phase 1, a histologic evaluation of laparoscopically placed specimens demonstrated significantly thinner above-mesh fibrotic tissue compared with the prostheses implanted at laparotomy (p < 0.04). In either phase, the use of the adhesion barrier did not produce any histologic difference between the polypropylene alone and the composite prosthesis. Fertility studies were performed in phase 2 and showed no adverse effects caused by either prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the intraperitoneal placement of a polypropylene prosthesis was an effective technique for indirect inguinal herniorrhaphy in a pig. Furthermore, with laparotomy, the addition of oxidized regenerated cellulose significantly decreased the rate of adhesion formation to the prosthesis. However, oxidized regenerated cellulose would appear to have no value when used with a prosthesis placed laparoscopically.  相似文献

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fibrinolytic activity of urine may rapidly degrade fibrin glue used in the urinary tract, thereby limiting tissue adhesion. The goals of this study were to verify the ability of antifibrinolytic agents to delay the degradation of fibrin glue in the urinary tract and to assess the results of this delay on subsequent wound healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 25 domestic pigs, a 3.5-cm incision in the urinary bladder was left open (N = 6) or closed laparoscopically with fibrin glue alone (N = 6), fibrin glue containing aprotinin 5000 KIU/mL (N = 6), or fibrin glue containing aprotinin 2500 KIU/mL with (N = 4) or without (N = 3) aminocaproic acid 12.5 mg/mL. At harvest 7 days later, the bladder was tested for leakage. Histologic features were scored by a pathologist blinded to the closure method. RESULTS: There were no significant differences among the groups in the amount of leakage at harvest. Significant fibrin glue material in the wound was noted more often in the pigs treated with fibrin glue plus aprotinin (7 of 13) than in the fibrin glue-only group (0 of 6; P = 0.04). The presence of significant fibrin material in the wound correlated well with absence of granulation tissue (P < 0.001), such that granulation tissue bridging the wound edges was found more often in the fibrin glue-only group (6 of 6) than in the groups treated with fibrin glue plus aprotinin (4 of 13; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Although aprotinin +/- aminocaproic acid did delay the degradation of fibrin glue used to close a bladder wound, it was associated with inhibition of granulation tissue in the glued wound. These findings suggest that aprotinin alone and aprotinin plus aminocaproic acid are not useful additives to fibrin glue used for wound closure in the urinary tract.  相似文献
