Familial Polyposis, Ulcerative Colitis

Brief summary

This will be a prospective, multi-center, randomized, single blind study to collect and evaluate post-market clinical data on the SprayShield Adhesion Barrier System as an adjuvant to good surgical technique for the reduction of postoperative adhesion formation following major open abdominal surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The Incidence of Adhesions, Defined as the Proportion of Subjects Presenting at the Follow-up Surgery (10-12 Weeks) With One or More Adhesions to the Midline Incision, Regardless of Extent and/or Severity.10-12 Weeks post Initial Surgery for J-Pouch

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Severity of AdhesionsAverage 10-12 weeks post surgeryWorst midline adhesion severity score. The severity of adhesions was categorized as filmy thickness, avascular; moderate thickness, limited vascularity; and dense thickness, vascularised. The corresponding numeric severity ratings are 1, 2, and 3. Subjects without adhesions were assigned a severity rating of 0.
Adhesion Involvement Along the Midline Incision (Percentage)average 10-12 weeks post surgeryThe proportion of the total length of the initial midline incision associated with any adhesion at the time of the follow-up surgery, as determined by dividing the length of the incision associated with adhesions (cm) by the overall initial midline incision length (cm). This calculates the extent of adhesion involvement as a percentage.
Mobilization Timeaverage 10-12 weeks post surgeryThe time (minute) required to incise and mobilize the ileal loop in preparation for reanastomosis for ileostomy closure.

Outcome results

Primary

The Incidence of Adhesions, Defined as the Proportion of Subjects Presenting at the Follow-up Surgery (10-12 Weeks) With One or More Adhesions to the Midline Incision, Regardless of Extent and/or Severity.

Time frame: 10-12 Weeks post Initial Surgery for J-Pouch

Population: All 11 patients met the per protocol population requirements specified in the protocol and statistical analysis plan.

Secondary

Adhesion Involvement Along the Midline Incision (Percentage)

The proportion of the total length of the initial midline incision associated with any adhesion at the time of the follow-up surgery, as determined by dividing the length of the incision associated with adhesions (cm) by the overall initial midline incision length (cm). This calculates the extent of adhesion involvement as a percentage.

Time frame: average 10-12 weeks post surgery

Population: These patients must have values for length of the incision associated with adhesions (cm) and for length of initial midline incision (cm) in order to calculate Extent of Adhesion Involvement (%). NOTE: Extent of Adhesion Involvement (%) = length of the incision associated with adhesions (cm) / length of initial midline incision (cm) \* 100.
