How To Prevent Post-Operative Adhesions with Adhesion Barriers?
Medical professionals encounter adhesion-related problems regularly, whether it is a gynecological surgery or inadvertent enterotomy associated with pre-existing pelvic adhesions. Indeed, there are adhesions in most of the patients who have had gynecological surgery. That is the reason, why adhesion barriers are in demand.
Adhesion complications take place unpredictably, sometimes, even years after the procedure. Many clinicians remark adhesion formation as an inevitable by-product of surgery.

What are the Consequences of Adhesions?
In a number of patients there are detrimental effects of these adhesions and clinical consequences, resultant in patient morbidity and increased expense. These are responsible for peritoneal infertility in many women.
For the patients undergoing successive surgeries, adhesions can increase operative time. About 50% of the hospital admissions for small-bowel obstruction are associated with the adhesions from previous gynecological surgery.
There is a Lot of Financial Burden
Post laparotomy, about 1 in 3 patients had a minimum of two admissions in the past ten years for adhesion-related problems in the U.K. The cost of readmissions associated with adhesions in the first year after surgery of lower abdominal was about £24.2 million, which increased to £95.2 million a decade past the initial surgery.
What are Adhesion Reduction Barriers?
As an aide to surgical methods, multiple agents can reduce postoperative adhesions, with variable degree of success. Presently, barriers are the sole existing adhesion-reduction products.
These prevent the two damaged peritoneal surfaces from putting to each other for a minimum of five days, throughout the critical period of peritoneal repair and adhesion development. A perfect barrier has a low rate of peritoneal absorption, no side effects, high thickness, and high biocompatibility.
Site Specific Barriers
These inert barriers can be presented to the trauma site, for example over the suture line for myomectomy.
Interceed is the most popular barrier for pelvic surgeries, mainly in laparoscopic procedures. With the use of Interceed, meticulous haemostasis is important, since adhesion would unexpectedly surge in the incidence of blood with Interceed.
Gel Barriers
These kinds of barriers are developed for countering the restrictions of solid- barriers during endoscopic surgery.
Broad Coverage Liquids
Peritoneal instillates come in handy in separating pelvic organs by the process of hydro floatation. Crystalloid solutions, for example normal saline and Ringer’s solution, have been ineffective due to their fast absorption by the extremely permeable peritoneum.
Adept is an iso-osmotic solution, having a sufficiently long intraperitoneal residence for persisting through the time of adhesion formation. Its safety and effectiveness in reduction of adhesion post gynecological laparoscopy is established in a multi-center randomized controlled trial.
R&D Happening at a Rapid Pace
Adhesion formation causes a lot of clinical problems and financial burden. Adhesion barriers might help decrease the formation of postoperative adhesion.
The efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the adhesion barrier products need much-advancement. Adhesion-reduction strategies should be implemented in risky procedures like endometriosis resection, tubo-ovarian surgery, myomectomy and adhesiolysis. With continuing research and development, more effective adhesion barriers will be presented to the world in the future.
It is because of the increasing number of surgical procedures taking place all over the world, the demand for adhesion barrios products will continue to grow in the years to come.
