Abstract
Postsurgical adhesion formation is a common but significant problem. This is the first clinical evaluation of a new barrier material designed to reduce or eliminate postsurgical adhesions. SprayGel™ can be delivered laparoscopically or via laparotomy to form a strongly adherent hydrogel film. In this multicenter study, we evaluated the safety and effectiveness of SprayGel absorbable adhesion barrier system in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic myomectomy procedures. Here, we discuss the results of our evaluation conducted at the University of Kiel and Polyclinic of Bordeaux, and assess some of the features of this novel adjunct to prevent formation of postsurgical adhesions.
