  • Title: Adhesion formation associated with the use of absorbable staples in comparison to other types of peritoneal injury.
    Author: Ling FW, Stovall TG, Meyer NL, Elkins TE, Muram D.
    Journal: Int J Gynaecol Obstet; 1989 Dec; 30(4):361-6. PubMed ID: 2483553.
    Abstract:
    Adhesion formation was assessed after inducing peritoneal injury with absorbable staples, absorbable suture, surgical excision or thermal injury. In addition, adhesion formation was assessed in the presence of Hyskon. Absorbable staples were associated with increased adhesion formation when compared to the other methods of injury. Hyskon appears to significantly reduce the formation of peritoneal adhesions at sites of peritoneal suturing, excision, and thermal injury, but did not reduce adhesion formation in the area of stapling.
