POSTER ABSTRACTS
LIHR group (27.5% vs. 10.3%, p=0.01) and more patients with
previous incisional hernia repair (48.8% vs. 27.8%, p=0.01).
Mean operative time was greater in the LIHR group (129+/-19
minutes vs.105+/-12 minutes, p=0.04); however, median hospital
stay was shorter (1.0, range 0.5-24 days vs. 3.0, range 0.5-
53 days, p0.05, histiocyte
p>0.05, gaint cell p>0.05, p>0.05, vascular proliferation
p>0.05, fibroblast proliferation p>0.05, collagen p>0.05). There
was a significant difference between 3 groups regarding to
adhesion formation (X2: 7,287, SD:2, p:0,026). The difference
was coming from the PM group. PM group was significantly
adhesive than the other groups. There wasn?t a significant difference
between SM and PM+IC groups (p>0.05). There was a
significant difference between these 3 groups regarding to dissection
difficulty (X2:13,322 SD:2, p:0,001). The significant difference
occurred due to the PM group. There wasn?t a significant
difference between SM and PM+IC groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: SM and PM+YC adhesion barrier can be safely
used in incisional hernia repair to prevent intraabdominal
adhesions. As a surgical technique the SM application is much
easier than PM+IC, however; PM+IC application is much
cheaper than the SM application.
