OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of intraperitoneal Lipiodol and methylene blue in prevention of postsurgical adhesion formation. STUDY DESIGN: Thirty female rats were divided into three equal groups and a standard damage to provoke adhesion formation was made by laparotomy to each of them. Methylene blue and Lipiodol was administered intraperitoneally to the first and second groups, respectively; while the third group was taken as control and no additional intervention was made. Adhesions were scored by a second look laparotomy which was made 21 days after the first operation. RESULTS: Adhesion scores of the second group (i.e. Lipiodol group) were …
