What ever happened to Hyskon and the "Horn regimen" for adhesion prevention.
Seemed to work quite well.

Well, that was not all there was too it. I used Intergel, and I liked it as
well, but there were a significant number of patients, unpublished insofar
as I know, but around 10% through the grapevine, that had abdominal pain
ranging up to the severe, with hospital admissions and so on, as well as
other GI symptoms after contact. I had one of these patients myself, and it
was a bugger getting her over, and there was no enterotomy, small or
otherwise. My patient eventually got better over 4 weeks or so, but this
was not an isolated event apparently, and the product was withdrawn from the
market and has not returned.

There was something called Intergel. I personally thought it worked great,
but had a complication when some less observant surgeons used in without
repairing a small enterotomy. Resultant infection was blamed on the gel, and
it was withdrawn from the market

A year ago, at the prompting of my father who bemoaned not having one child
"invent" or patent anything, I decided, I would invent a surfactant so to
say, an abdominal "wash" which would prevent adhesions but the surgical
site, through a process, would not be prevented from healing/sealing. I
spoke to someone, and they said, it was an excellent idea, but "find out
what has been developed" to date. To my great dissappointment, it has
already been developed, anyone ever use an agent such as this? Any
experiences you want to share?
Thanks, Diane
