Various materials have been used to prevent the compressive effect of postoperative epidural fibrosis on neural structures. The effects of Adcon L, Mitomycin C and sodium hyaluronate on epidural fibrosis compared in this experimental study. Methods: 28 rabbits divided into 4 different groups. L5 total laminectomy performed under ketamine and xyzlazine anasthesia. Group1 settled as control group and had no medications after laminectomy. Adcon L in group 2, Mitomycin C in group3 and sodium hyaluronate in group 4 were applied to laminectomy area. All groups sacrified 6 weeks after laminectomy. Histologic slices were invastigated under light microscobe according to their histopathological features and the groups were compared. Result: Grade 3 fibrosis determinated in group1. Statistically significant differences between group1 and all other groups were obtained (p < 0.05) No statistically significant differences was determinated between group 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Conclusions: All medications we use decreased postoperative epidural fibrosis in this study. But further studies are needed for routine application of these medications.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEpidural fibrosisAdcon LMitomycin Csodium hyaluronateFailed back surgery syndromeArticle282236242WOS:000290234700010N/A
