New Use of an Absorbable Adhesion Barrier (INTERCEED) for Temporary Diverting Ileostomy in Minimally Invasive Rectal Surgery

Abstract Objectives Sometimes, severe adhesion occurs between the rectus abdominis muscle and ileal intestinal limbs after temporary diverting ileostomy. This can make ileostomy reversal difficult. The aim of present study is to assess whether absorbable barrier made oxidized regenerated cellulose (INTERCEED) could contribute improved surgical outcomes in stoma reversal. Methods was a single-institutional retrospective study. A total 36 consecutive patients who underwent by single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed. INTERCEED inserted at time creation 12 patients. Surgical compared treated with without INTERCEED. Results degree formation muscles, operating time, estimated blood loss significantly reduced those conventional approach. None group had postoperative complications initial surgery Conclusions suitable for insertion muscles because its softness flexibility. use contributes formation, operative patients, further research needed confirm our results.
