How do experienced surgeons use modern adhesion barriers optimally?

The new publication by Alkatout et al, “Adhesion Prevention in Gynecologic Surgery: Guidance and Clinical Experience”, provides exciting insights into the use of the 4DryField® PH adhesion barrier.

First-hand practical recommendations:
Endometriosis surgery: Experts report that 4DryField® PH as a gel can be used specifically to minimize postoperative adhesions and thus protect fertility.
Ovarian surgery: The use of 4DryField® PH as a powder enables a hemostatic effect without thermal tissue damage – a clear advantage for the preservation of the ovarian reserve.
Cesarean section & myomectomy: Surgeons appreciate the ease of use and versatility of 4DryField® PH for hemostasis or as an adhesion barrier in various surgical setups.
Hysteroscopy: As a premixed gel, 4DryField® PH can also be used to protect against Asherman’s syndrome.

Why is this relevant?
Experienced users confirm that 4DryField® PH not only improves surgical results, but also has a direct positive impact on the post-operative well-being of patients:
✅ Higher post-op fertility rate
✅ Reduction in pain
✅ Flexible use in gynecological surgery

Conclusion:
The study by Alkatout et al. clearly shows that adhesion prophylaxis is a decisive factor for better treatment results.
