Abstract (type = abstract)
Adhesions are a painful and expensive result of abdominal surgeries, specifically in the peritoneal cavity. This complication is surprisingly common and requires a second surgery, adhesiolysis, to remove it. Current solutions to adhesions either lack efficacy or produce an inflammatory response in the peritoneum. This project focuses on developing a post-surgical adhesion prevention polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) to both combat the problem of adhesions and promote an anti-inflammatory response. Initially, material properties of the PEC were investigated. Fibroblasts and macrophage cell viabilities were also studied on the PEC since both cell types play a central role in adhesion formation and inflammation. Finally, preliminary in-vivo studies were conducted to determine the true capability of the material as a post-surgical adhesion prevention method.
