Prevention of Polyglycolic Acid-Induced Peritoneal Adhesions Using Alginate in a Rat Model

Prevention of Polyglycolic Acid-Induced Peritoneal Adhesions Using Alginate in a Rat Model

Postoperative intra-abdominal or intrathoracic adhesions sometimes cause significant morbidity. We have designed three types of alginate-based treatments using strongly cross-linked (SL), weakly cross-linked (WL), and non-cross-linked (NL) alginate with calcium gluconate. In rat experiments, we comp...
