Foreign body reaction mimicking local recurrence from polyactide adhesion barrier film after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Polyactide (PLA) barrier is one of the most commonly used materials to prevent the formation of postoperative adhesion. Even though previous studies supported the anti-adhesion efficacy of PLA barrier, there have been limited reports focusing on the associated foreign body reaction. We sought to investigate the potential complication of PLA barrier placement that could lead to unnecessary intervention.This is a retrospective study of colorectal cancer patients with laparoscopic surgery. Cases with stage IV unresectable disease, poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance, death within 3 months after the surgery, and insufficient record were excluded. A total of 296 cases were identified in our study and 220 patients received PLA film placement. We compared the inci
