An Evaluation of Operator Variability in a Rat Cecal Abrasion Model for the Formation of Abdominal Models (original) (raw)

Pelvic Surgery, 1997

Abstract

To effectively evaluate adhesion prevention modalities, a consistent and reproducible animal model must be employed. We have developed a model for the formation of abdominal adhesions using a mechanical abrading device to limit variability between surgeons. This study was designed to evaluate surgeon differences in both the formation and evaluation of adhesions in a rat cecal abrasion model.
