Material/Method: We randomly assigned 18 female Wistar albino rats (median weight: 275 g, median age: 4.5 mth) to 3 groups: 0.1 ml 0.9% NaCl, glycerol, and fax seed oil were sprayed in a perithyroidal area after thyroidectomy operation on all animals as anti-adhesive barriers. Rats were sacrificed on the postoperative 14th day and adhesions were evaluated macroscopically and microscopically. Results: The median macroscopic adhesion score was 3.0±0.0 in the 0.9% NaCl group, 1.33±0.52 in the glycerol group, and 1.67±0.53 in the fax seed oil group. The median histopathological fibrosis scores were 2.33±0.82, 0.67±0.52, and 0.83±0.75, respectively. Both glycerol and flaxseed oil group macroscopic and microscopic scores were significantly lower than the 0.9% NaCl group (p&lt;0.05). There was no significant difference among the groups (p&gt;0.05). Conclusions: Glycerol and fax seed oil both decrease the incidence of post-thyroidectomy adhesion in rats, but glycerol is more effective. © Med Sci Monit, 2014.</dc:description><dc:publisher>International Scientific Literature Inc.</dc:publisher><dc:date>2014</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/14995</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.12659/msm.890460</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>1234-1010</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Medical Science Monitor</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/14995</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
