What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Incidence of peri-hepatic adhesions at the time of repeat liver surgery
Time frame: 0-4 years from initial surgery, time of repeat surgery will vary from patient to patient
Evaluation will be performed at second surgery as follows: Calgary Scoring System Grade1-No adhesions, Grade2-Mild, Grade3-Moderate, Grade4-Severe adhesions, Grade5-severe adhesions with injury to other organs TORanomon Adhesion score (TORAD score): * Hepatic Hilum * 1-Easy: Easy for encircling the hepatoduodenal ligament (HDL) * 2-Hard: Additional maneuver for encircling HDL * 3-Extreme
Sponsor's own description
There has been an increase in the need for repeat hepatic surgery, especially for patients with colorectal liver metastasis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Adhesions at the time of repeat surgery can lead to increased operative times, higher blood loss and even increased perioperative morbidity. Not much data exists regarding use of anti-adhesion barriers at the time of index hepatectomy and their effect on adhesions at repeat hepatectomy. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a hyaluronan and cellulose based antiadhesive topical film at index hepatectomy in reducing perihepatic adhesions at the time of repeat hepatic surgery.
