Abstrakt: Introduction: Various substances and agents have been evaluated to prevent postoperative adhesion formation. Recently a sodium hyaluronate-based bioresorbable membrane was introduced with promising clinical results. Its application was regarded as safe and efficient.
Methods: We present the first reported case of a severe inflammatory reaction to a bioresorbable membrane and give a review of the related literature.
Conclusion: Bioresorbable membranes are increasingly used by general surgeons and gynecologists to reduce postoperative adhesion formation. Bioresorbable membranes may produce extensive inflammatory reactions.
