Effects of intraperitoneal Ringer's lactate instillation and infusion on postsurgical adhesion formation.
We compared the effects of continuous Ringer's lactate infusion and Ringer's lactate instillation on postsurgical adhesion formation in the rat model. The results show that intraperitoneal Ringer's lactate instillation reduces postsurgical adhesions. However, its efficacy is not improved by additional infusion of Ringer's lactate.
