Abstract

Surgical treatment of a patient with recurrent acute adhesive intestinal obstruction is described. Seven plates of anti-adhesive barrier agent made from oxidized regenerated cellulose were applied to small bowel in order to prevent adhesions. Control examination did not reveal viscero-parietal adhesions between hollow organs and delayed passage through the gastrointestinal tract. Long-term results indicate the need for intraoperative prevention of intra-abdominal adhesions in patients with abdominal adhesive disease.
