The effect of growth factor-enriched agents in the healing of colon after resection of experimentally induced colonic endometriosis: an experimental rat model
Abstract
Study objective: To examine the potential beneficial effect of platelet rich plasma (PRP) and fibrin sealant (TISSEEL; Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL) on bowel wound healing after shaving of an experimentally induced endometriotic lesion. Design: Single-blind randomized experimental study (Canadian Task Force classification I). Setting: Certified animal research facility. Animals: Thirty female Sprague-Dawley rats. Interventions: Experimental colonic endometriosis was induced by transplanting endometrial tissue to all animals (first surgery). Thirty rats were then randomized to 1 of 3 groups according to treatment: PRP (group I, n = 10), fibrin sealant (group II, n = 10), or no agent (group III, n = 10) was applied after shaving of the endometriotic nodule (second surgery). Measurements and Main Results: Colonic endometriosis was successfully induced in all subjects. Four days following the second surgery, the animals were euthanized, and microscopic evaluation was perfor ...
