Extensive peritoneal histiocytic reaction to oxidized regenerated cellulose

Effects of quercetin and surgicel for preventing adhesions after gynecological surgery: A rat uterine horn model

“…Our study has some limitations, including the fact that the healing period after the first surgical injury was 14 days, which is the minimum stabilization time for collagen. We also waited 14 days for accurate histopathologic evaluation . Surgeons generally use adhesion‐preventing agents locally to the traumatized site, which is why we chose the intraperitoneal route.…”

“…We also waited 14 days for accurate histopathologic evaluation. 7 Surgeons generally use adhesionpreventing agents locally to the traumatized site, which is why we chose the intraperitoneal route. Another limitation is the intraperitoneal dose of quercetin is not known.…”

“…Oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel) is a topical, absorbable, hemostatic agent commonly used to stop bleeding and prevent tissue adhesion . Upon contact with blood, it turns into a gelatinous substance and assists coagulation.…”

“…5,6 Oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel) is a topical, absorbable, hemostatic agent commonly used to stop bleeding and prevent tissue adhesion. [7][8][9] Upon contact with blood, it turns into a gelatinous substance and assists coagulation. Ateş et al compared two materials, both containing oxidized regenerated celluloses inside Surgicel and Interceed, in a rabbit adhesion model and concluded that Surgicel is as effective as Interceed in preventing adhesions.…”

Its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative and antineoplastic effects have been reported in several experimental and epidemiologic studies.…”
