Interceed (TC7) can be effectively delivered during laparoscopic surgery to reduce post-operative adhesions. This method is feasible, requiring minimal time and instruments for application.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecological surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery

Background:

  • Adhesion formation is a common complication in gynecological pelvic surgery.
  • Interceed (TC7) is an established surgical barrier effective in reducing adhesions during laparotomy.
  • Laparoscopic interventions are increasing, necessitating effective adhesion prevention strategies in this approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of delivering Interceed (TC7) via ancillary trocars during laparoscopic surgery.
  • To assess the efficacy and ease of application of Interceed in a laparoscopic setting.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-four patients undergoing operative laparoscopy were included in the study.
  • Interceed (TC7) material, sized between 1.9 x 2.5 cm and 3.8 x 5 cm, was delivered through ancillary trocars.

  • Procedure duration for each Interceed application ranged from 2.5 to 6 minutes.

    • Main Results:

    • Delivery of Interceed (TC7) through ancillary trocars during laparoscopy was successfully achieved without difficulties.
    • The application process was found to be straightforward and efficient.
    • The time required for delivery and application was minimal.

    Conclusions:

    • Interceed (TC7) application is feasible during laparoscopic interventions.
    • Delivery via ancillary trocars is a practical method for using Interceed in laparoscopy.
    • This approach offers a short operative time, requires minimal instrumentation, and is easy to perform, aiding in post-operative adhesion reduction.
