A-Part Gel an adhesion prophylaxis for abdominal surgery: a randomized controlled phase I–II safety study NCT00646412

摘要

BackgroundIntra-abdominal surgical intervention can cause the development of intra-peritoneal adhesions. To reduce this problem, different agents have been tested to minimize abdominal adhesions; however, the optimal adhesion prophylaxis has not been found so far. Therefore, the A-Part^® Gel was developed as a barrier to diminish postsurgical adhesions; the aim of this randomized controlled study was a first evaluation of its safety and efficacy.
