Popis: Aim: Adhesions occurring after initial surgery increase complications in secondary thyroid operations. Therefore use of anti-adhesive barriers may reduce complication rates of secondary thyroid operations. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of hyaluronic acid-carboxymethyl cellulose membrane (HA-CMC, Seprafilm (R)) and polylactic acid barrier film (PLA, Surgiwrap (TM)) in reducing adhesions after thyroid surgery.
