The goal of this study was to assess the applicability, safety, and efficacy of Hyalobarrier (R) and Interceed (R) for adhesion prevention in laparoscopic myomectomy. A prospective collection of data derived from a cohort of 102 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy between January 1993 and March 2004 was analysed. Sixty-nine women, all without adhesions and concomitant surgery at baseline, were followed by a second look laparoscopy. Both devices had similar efficacy considering the incidence of adhesions and, moreover, there were no safety concerns. However, Hyalobarrier (R) had a lower mean application time and was significantly easier to deliver.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to assess the applicability, safety, and efficacy of Hyalobarrier (R) and Interceed (R) for adhesion prevention in laparoscopic myomectomy. A prospective collection of data derived from a cohort of 102 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy between January 1993 and March 2004 was analysed. Sixty-nine women, all without adhesions and concomitant surgery at baseline, were followed by a second look laparoscopy. Both devices had similar efficacy considering the incidence of adhesions and, moreover, there were no safety concerns. However, Hyalobarrier (R) had a lower mean application time and was significantly easier to deliver.
