Tropical application of halcinonide cream reduces the severity and incidence of intraperitoneal adhesions in a rat model. [2002.07] BACKGROUND: Systemic or intraperitoneal administration of corticosteroids has been reported to have conflicting effects on the prevention of peritoneal adhesions. Painting corticosteroid cream directly on the likely site of adhesion formation, owing to its high concentrations and persistent effects, may be a promising approach to prevent peritoneal adhesion formation...
