Laparoscopic Use of a Hyaluronic Acid Carboxycellulose Membrane Slurry in Gynecological Oncology

چکیده
OBJECTIVES We evaluated the use of a hyaluronic acid-carboxycellulose membrane (HAC) slurry in complex laparoscopies. MATERIALS AND METHODS A gel-like mixture of HAC was prepared and applied in 171 consecutive complex laparoscopies on a gynecologic oncology service. The HAC slurry was used to coat deperitonealized surfaces and surgical pedicals to prevent postoperative adhesions. The technique is described and the outcomes are prospectively evaluated for feasibility and safety. RESULTS There were no postoperative bowel obstructions, 1 pelvic hematoma in a patient on clopidogrel (Plavix) immediately prior to surgery, 8 postoperative ilea, and 1 bowel perforation. The bowel perforation occurred in a patient with extensive adhesiolysis and intraoperative bowel suturing. CONCLUSION This report describes an easy approach to the laparoscopic application of HAC. Caution should be taken if HAC slurry is applied after significant bowel suturing because 1 of 9 patients with extensive adhesiolysis requiring suturing of the sigmoid colon developed sigmoid perforations.

Autocrosslinked hyaluronic acid gel is useful for preventing postsurgical adhesion formation in infertile patients who have undergone laparoscopic myomectomy, and it increases the pregnancy rate more than laparoscopic myomectomy alone. Moreover, pregnancy rate is significantly higher with the use of subserous sutures.
