A sprayable hydrogel adhesion barrier facilitates closure of defunctioning loop ileostomy: a randomized trial.

Purpose Closure of defunctioning loop ileostomy often is associated with division of complex peristomal adhesions through a parastomal incision with limited exposure. The goal was to determine whether sprayable hydrogel adhesion barrier (SprayGel™) will reduce peristomal adhesions and facilitate closure of ileostomy.
