U.S., July 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07078981) titled 'Adhesion Prevention in ASBO Surgery Using 4DryField(R) PH' on July 14.
Brief Summary: Post-surgical adhesions occur in up to 90% of abdominal surgeries, often leading to complications like adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) and chronic pain. They result from imbalanced healing processes influenced by growth factors, fibroblast activity, and genetic predispositions. While surgery can relieve ASBO, it frequently causes new adhesions, with recurrence rates up to 40%. Anti-adhesion barriers, such as the starch-based 4DryField(R) PH, form a temporary gel barrier to support healing. Though promising, its role in preventing ASBO recur...
