Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADHEXIL™ in preventing and/or reducing post-operative adhesions in patients undergoing surgery involving the ovaries.
This study will examine the performance of SeprasSpray in patients undergoing abdominal surgery (laparoscopic).
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of microplasmin, administered as an intravitreal injection, in subjects with focal vitreomacular adhesion. In previously performed clinical trials, some patients treated with intravitreal microplasmin have had resolution of their underlying condition, including macular hole closure, without need for vitrectomy. This clinical trial is justified because the sponsor believes the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal microplasmin 125µg dose in subjects wiht focal vitreomacular adhesion.
Adhesion formation is a result of abdominal and pelvic surgery and is a cause of such diseases as chronic pain syndrome, bowel obstruction and infertility. Both patients and surgeons suffer when adhesions are encountered, since the surgery becomes more intense, lengthy, and complicated. Seprafilm® has been shown to limit the formation of adhesions in gynecologic and abdominal surgery. Limited data is available on the effectiveness of Seprafilm® in the prevention of abdominal wall and pelvic adhesions at the time of cesarean section. Adhesions at the time of repeat cesarean make the surgery frustrating and complex, with difficult lysis of adhesions being the cause of morbidities such as bladder damage, increased blood loss, and longer operating times. The objective of this definitive project is to define the extent of reduction of adhesion formation of Seprafilm® when used at the time of primary cesarean section. Women undergoing primary cesarean section will be randomized for Seprafilm® application, and the incidence and grade of adhesions at repeat cesarean will be determined.
This study will examine the safety and efficacy of Sepraspray in the following model of abdominal surgery: total proctocolectomy and pelvic pouch with diverting ileostomy via laparotomy to treat ulcerative colitis or familial polyposis. Adhesion formation will be evaluated laparoscopically at ileostomy take down. NOTE: A decision was made to terminate this study in June 2008 due to low enrollment.
The safety of applying A-Part® Gel intra-peritoneally under the incision in order to prevent post-surgical adhesions after median laparotomy.
The purpose of this study is to compare adhesion prophylaxis with polylactide-caprolactone-trimethylenecarbonate copolymer to icodextrin 4% in terms of safety, side effects and usability in addition to gaining early evidence of the effectiveness of polylactide-caprolactone-trimethylenecarbonate copolymer.
A multicenter, randomized, controlled, single blinded study to evaluate the effectiveness of Seprafilm® Adhesion Barrier in reducing adhesion formation in cesarean deliveries. Primary outcome will be measurement of the extent and severity of adhesions at the time of subsequent cesarean delivery. Secondary outcomes will include measures of safety, operative times (ex., incision-delivery; total operative time).
To ascertain whether there are fewer adhesions (internal scars) formed following laparoscopic (key-hole) surgery for colorectal diseases than traditional open surgery.
