Clinical Impact of Using 4% Icodextrin as an Adhesion Prophylactic Agent in High-Risk Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery on Hospital Readmission and Reoperation Rates: A Retrospective Single-Arm Study

This is the first study ever evaluating hospital readmission/reoperation rates after application of a specific adhesion prophylactic agent. The results indicate that 4% icodextrin is safe and effective when used as an intraperitoneal instillate for reduction in adhesions in gynecological laparoscopic procedures. It has a lower readmission and reoperation rate compared to meta-analysis data in the international literature.
