Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this research is to determine if a film to prevent adhesions will improve the area of distribution of a contrast dye (representative of chemotherapy) in the abdominal cavity (belly) of women who have undergone surgery for ovarian cancer as compared with patients who have not had adhesion barrier sheets placed in the belly. It is believed that this film, Seprafilm™, reduces adhesions (scar tissue between tissues and organs) in the abdominal cavity following surgery. Adhesions can limit the distribution of the chemotherapy agent placed in the abdomen to treat the ovarian cancer. Thirty subjects will receive adhesion barrier sheets and thirty will not. To determine if the sheets prevent adhesions, all subjects will have a dye inserted into the abdomen and then have X-rays of the abdomen to look at the distribution of the dye between the two groups. Hypothesis: Null hypothesis: There is no difference in area of distribution of the intraperitoneal dye in the Seprafilm ™ vs. no Seprafilm™ groups. Alternative hypothesis: Seprafilm™ reduces adhesion formation and there is a larger area of distribution of intraperitoneal dye in the Seprafilm™ group.
