The effect of 4% icodextrin solution on adhesiolysis surgery time at the Hartmann’s reversal: a pilot, multicentre, randomized control trial vs lactated Ringer’s solution

Objective  A pilot randomized controlled clinical multicentre trail was established to compare intraperitoneal 4% icodextrin (ID) solution with lactated Ringer’s solution (LRS) on adhesion formation after Hartmann’s procedure. The adhesiolysis surgery time during Hartman’s reversal was used as a marker of the severity of adhesions.
