The effect of hyaluronidase on experimental intestinal adhesions in the rat

Abstract Hyaluronidase has been placed on the crushed or scraped cecum of the rat in order to determine its effect on adhesion formation. At very high dosage levels or with continued intraperitoneal administration, hyaluronidase has little effect on the number of adhesions formed but it does seem to reduce the density of these adhesions significantly.
