Popis: Adhesiolysis is often necessary in intrathoracic adhesion during ipsilateral repeat lung resection. This procedure has a risk of surgical complications, including unintentional intraoperative damage of the pulmonary vessels or lung parenchyma. We used an oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) sheet to prevent intrathoracic adhesion after lung resection in 55 patients. The sheet was placed on the surface of the resected region and on the lung surface under the wound. No major postoperative complications were observed. Three cases underwent ipsilateral thoracic surgery for the treatment of lung malignancies, and there were no intrathoracic adhesions around the ORC sheet-covered area.
