Abstract

This study was performed to compare the effects of carboxymethylcellulose (CMCE), chondroitin sulfate (Chondron), and carboxymethylchitosan (CMCH) on preventing intraperitoneal adhesion. As a result, the tensile strength of adhesions formed between the parietal peritoneum and the ileal serosa was significantly decreased in the groups of three different kinds of anti-adhesive agents. The distance of adhesion site was slightly increased in the treatment groups comparing control group. In the CMCH group, the inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen hyperplasia, and neovascularization were significantly lower than those of control group. It was observed that the damage at intestinal serosa was significantly decreased in the chondron and CMCH groups comparing control group. Therefore CMCH may be useful as a anti-adhesive agent in the prevention of intraperitoneal adhesion in rats.
