Abstract

Twenty donkeys were subjected to experimental induction of peritoneal adhesions. They were allocated into five equal groups including control ©, Saline treated (ST), heparin treated (HT), dimethyl sulfoxide treated (DT), and sodium carboxy methylcellulose treated (MT) groups. Group C did not receive any medicament. In the other groups saline, heparin, dimethyl sulfoxide, and sodium carboxy methylcellulose were intraperitonealy administered before closure of the abdomen to assess their efficacy for prevention of adhesions. In this respect, sodium carboxy methylcellulose proved the best drug preventing abdominal adhesions followed by heparin and dimethyl sulfoxide.
