Foreign Body Reactions after Using SurgiWrap® (Polylactide Acid Bioresorbable Sheet) / 대한이비인후과학회지

Postsurgical adhesion formation is a significant clinical problem within every surgical specialty. Currently, adhesion barriers are used in many surgical interventions and while they have become a subject of an increasing interest for their effectiveness, there has not been any reports on the adverse effects of these anti-adhesion agents. Three different types of antiadhesive agents (SurgiWrap®, Guardix-Sol®, Interceed®) have been noted as effective in adhesion prevention. We report, with a review of literature, on a patient who had a foreign body reaction that caused a side effect of anti-adhesion SurgiWrap® after thyroid surgery.
