## Abstract Despite advances in surgical methods, postsurgical adhesions (PSA) remain a significant clinical challenge affecting millions of patients each year. These permanent fibrous connections between tissues result from the bridging of wounded internal surfaces by an extended fibrin gel matrix
Post-operative peritoneal adhesions can cause pelvic pain, infertility, and potentially lethal bowel obstruction. We have designed and synthesized injectable hydrogels that are formed by mixing hydrazide-modified hyaluronic acid (HA) with aldehyde-modified versions of cellulose derivatives such as c
## Abstract The aim of this study was to prepare nonwoven materials from poly(ฮตโcaprolactone) (PCL) and their antibiotic containing forms by electrospinning, so as to prevent postsurgery induced abdominal adhesions in rats. ฮตโCaprolactone was first polymerized by ringโopening polymerization, and th
The effect of both regular silicone and fluorosilicone in preventing retinal detachment caused by experimental proliferative vitreoretinopathy was studied in rabbit eyes which received 250,000 fibroblasts after vitrectomy and lensectomy. In the control group, 14 out of 20 eyes which received fibrobl
One of the drawbacks of using macroporous polypropylene prostheses in the repair of the abdominal wall is the formation of adhesions with the viscera. However, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has low adhesion formation, although it provides less resistance to traction in the repaired zone. The aim of
