[Usefulness of Oxidization-regenerated Cellulose Sheets in Preventing Postoperative Adhesion Confirmed at Second...

The patient was a 42-year-old woman who had been found to have a mixed ground glass opacity in the lung on chest computed tomography, and had underwent right S6 segmentectomy. At surgery, the plain between the upper and lower lobe was covered with a regenerative oxidized cellulose membrane. Two years later, multiple small shadows appeared in the remaining right lower lobe and completion right lower lobectomy was performed by thoracoscopy due to the adhesion to the absence of adhesion. Both of the histological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma of the lung. An oxidization regenerated cellulose sheet was effective in preventing postoperative adhesion in pulmonary resection.
