Experimental evaluation of the use of starch and carboxymethylcellulose in the prevention of intraperitoneal adhesions in hernia surgery with coated meshes.
    Acta cirurgica brasileira, 2023, Volume: 38

    Laparoscopic hernia repair involves a risk of adhesion between coated mesh and viscera. Plant polysaccharides such as starch and carboxymethylcellulose (SC) make up a product that acts as a barrier and prevents intraperitoneal adhesions. This study aimed to evaluate whether topical SC can also reduce adhesions between mesh and intra-abdominal organs.. Forty rats each received placement of two intraperitoneal mesh fragments, one on each side of the abdominal wall. Randomly, 20 animals received SC on the right and other 20 on the left, leaving the contralateral side as a control. Fourteen days after the surgery, the animals underwent an additional laparotomy in which macroscopic analysis was performed.. As for the percentage of the mesh area affected by adhesion, one (2.6%) animal had > 75% adhesion on the experimental side, and 11 animals (28.9%) on the control side. The adhesion intensity score showed firm adhesions in three (7.9%) animals on the experimental side and nine (23.7%) on the control side.. The use of SC decreased the intensity of adhesions and the surface area of the mesh affected by adhesions. There was no negative interference of the product in the incorporation of the mesh into the abdominal wall.

Effects of physical barriers in prevention of adhesions: an incisional hernia model in rats.
    The Journal of surgical research, 1997, Volume: 68, Issue:2

    Adhesion formation between viscera and mesh is almost inevitable following incisional hernia repair with prosthetic mesh. Such adhesions may lead to intestinal obstruction and enterocutaneous fistulae formation and make further laparotomies extremely difficult. Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) and Interceed TC7 (oxidized regenerated cellulose) as physical barriers have been shown to be effective in reducing postoperative adhesions.. To evaluate the effects of SCMC and Interceed TC7, we used an incisional hernia model in rats. A ventral abdominal defect (15 x 25 mm) was created in each of 36 male rats which were then divided into three equal groups. In Group I (control) the defect was repaired with polypropylene mesh (PPM) only; in Group II the defect was repaired after a layer of Interceed TC7 was laid over the viscera with Interceed TC7-covered PPM; in Group III the defect was repaired after a layer of SCMC was laid over the viscera with SCMC-coated PPM. Six of the animals from each group were sacrificed at Postoperative Day 7 and the adhesions were scored. The remaining 6 were sacrificed at Day 30 and histological evaluation was made in addition to the adhesion score.. Animals in the SCMC-treated group developed significantly less adhesions (P = 0.0002) compared with control and Interceed TC7-treated groups. However, histological analysis revealed poor fibroblast proliferation with impaired wound healing in the SCMC group.. SCMC prevented adhesion formation but seriously impaired wound healing, and Interceed TC7 was ineffective in preventing adhesion in this model.
