What this trial studies

This observational study involves a retrospective chart review and patient questionnaires to assess the effectiveness of COSEAL in reducing adhesion-related complications following gynecologic surgeries. It focuses on patients who underwent surgery at least two years prior, during which COSEAL was applied to minimize adhesion formation. The study aims to quantify the incidence of adhesion-related readmissions and reoperations by reviewing patient charts and collecting additional data through questionnaires when necessary.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adult female patients who had gynecologic surgery at least two years ago where COSEAL was used.

Not a fit: Patients who had infections in the abdominopelvic cavity at the time of surgery will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced complications related to adhesions for patients undergoing gynecologic surgery.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is based on existing practices, the specific use of COSEAL in this context is being evaluated for the first time in this manner.
