  • Title: [Experimental studies on the development of peritoneal adhesions in cases of suturing and non-suturing of the parietal peritoneum in rabbits].
    Author: Milewczyk M.
    Journal: Ginekol Pol; 1989 Jan; 60(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 2529197.
    Abstract:
    The author performed (in general ether anaesthesia) median upper and lower right oblique laparotomy in 50 rabbits (two incisions in each). In 25 rabbits from group I the author closed the wound without suturing the parietal peritoneum whereas in the remaining 25 rabbits from group II they closed the wound suturing the parietal peritoneum. On 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st days following the procedure, 5 rabbits from each group were killed. The author evaluated the wounds of the parietal peritoneum by macro- and microscopy, and also the number of peritoneal adhesions in each group. It was found that in group I adhesions appeared only in 3 out of 50 incisions whereas in group II--17 adhesions out of 50 wounds (p less than 0.005). The author believes that parietal peritoneum that has not been sutured heals better and with a smaller number of adhesions than sutured parietal peritoneum.
