Summary

Intra-abdominal adhesion occurs in up to 90% of patients after abdominal surgery. Many patient will undergo a second surgery for temporary stoma closure, therefore these ostomy closure operations can give an opportunity to evaluate adhesion caused by previous operations. This study was conducted to use second surgery to investigate the anti-adhesion effect of purified starch among patients who underwent colorectal surgery.

Conditions

  • Adhesions Abdominal

Interventions
