Peritoneal adhesion index (PAI): proposal of a score for the “ignored iceberg” of medicine and surgery
Peritoneal adhesions describe a condition in which pathological bonds form between the omentum, the small and large bowels, the abdominal wall, and other intra-abdominal organs. Different classification systems have been proposed, but they do not resolve the underlying problem of ambiguity in the quantification and definition of adhesions. We therefore propose a standardized classification syst...
متن کاملEffect of gold nanoparticles on postoperative peritoneal adhesions in rats
Objective(s): Abdominal adhesions are one of the most important problems, occurring after intra-abdominal surgery in more than 90% of cases. This condition is the leading cause of bowel obstruction, infertility, and abdominal/pelvic pain. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been shown to be non-toxic and exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and antioxidant activities. The purpose of this study...
متن کاملPeritoneal closure and adhesions.
We have read the debate on peritoneal closure by Cheong et al. with interest (Cheong et al., 2001). The authors state that the long term benefits and hazards of non-closure of the peritoneum are unknown, and expect adhesion related problems. Among the various outcome measures concerning long-term morbidity, adhesion formation/reformation is probably one of the most important ones. The presence ...
متن کاملExperimental adhesion model: effect of viscosities of fluids put in the peritoneal cavity on preventing peritoneal adhesions.
In this study we assessed the effectiveness of fluid viscosities placed in the peritoneal cavity to prevent postoperative peritoneal adhesions. Thirty-six Wistar albino female rats (average weight: 160 +/- 30 g, average age: 6.5 months) were divided into three groups of equal number. A standard adhesion pattern was formed in each group. Then, 3 ml isotonic sodium chloride solution (relative vis...
متن کاملPathophysiology and prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesions.
Peritoneal adhesions represent an important clinical challenge in gastrointestinal surgery. Peritoneal adhesions are a consequence of peritoneal irritation by infection or surgical trauma, and may be considered as the pathological part of healing following any peritoneal injury, particularly due to abdominal surgery. The balance between fibrin deposition and degradation is critical in determini...
