[Use of the combination of a nitrofurazone derivative with polyethylene glycols in the prevention of the formation of peritoneal adhesions - experimental study].

The authors studied the effectiveness of the association of Nitrofurazone derivates with Polyethylene glycol (NPG) on peritoneal adhesions prevention. Despite the fact of constitutional characteristics may elicit or not the formation of adhesions and bands, they concluded that, although the drugs have not demonstrated the capacity of avoiding such phenomena, they could block this process at a fibrinous stage, which is relatively safe concerning the possibility of intestinal obstruction.
