Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the new crosslinked hyaluronan hydrogel was safe to use, and was effective for the prevention/reduction of adhesion formation following gynecological surgery

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Postsurgical adhesions are a common medical complication of gynecologic and pelvic surgeries, and are frequently associated with chronic or recurrent pelvic pain, intestinal obstruction and infertility. This randomized, controlled, multicenter, clinical study was designed to evaluate the safety and performance of the new crosslinked hyaluronan hydrogel versus the standard of care for the reduction of postoperative adhesions in subjects undergoing laparoscopic surgeries. Subjects were scheduled to return at 9 weeks after the initial surgical procedure. At that time, a second-look laparoscopy was performed for postsurgical adhesion assessment. Adhesions were graded using a modified American Fertility Society (mAFS) scoring system.
