Effects of Hyaluronic Acid-Carboxymethylcellulose Antiadhesion Barrier on Ischemic Colonic Anastomosis

Abstract

Application of hyaluronic acid-carboxymethylcellulose in ischemic colonic anastomosis did not compromise anastomotic integrity. The adverse effect of ischemia on healing of colonic anastomosis was counteracted by hyaluronic acid-carboxymethylcellulose.
