Resumo
The adhesions formation after surgical procedures in the spine is a subject well studied in neurosurgery, according to the discomfort and postoperative pain suffered by patients. Several studies have been performed using anti-inflammatories, autologous grafts, xenografts and xenologer biomaterials and even in film form and gel with the aim of reducing or preventing adhesion formation. The aim of this study was to compare the film based on chitosan with autogenous fat in preventing dural adhesions in rabbits. This technique was compared to the technique used routinely by neurosurgeons who, in most cases, using autogenous fat. We used 24 adult male rabbits of New Zealand, and 15 and 30 days postoperatively (PO) the spinal cords of animals underwent myelography and histological evaluation. The animals were randomly divided equally into two groups (group G and Q), and further subdivided into four subgroups: G15, Q15, G30 and Q30 according to time points and the material used. In the group Q, a laminectomy performed between L1-L2 was occluded with the film based on chitosan and in the Group G the defect was repaired with autogenous free fat graft. In assessing myelography, there was a moderate compression of the column spinal cord both in group G as in group Q. In two rabbits of group Q the compression was attributed to severe disruption of the stabilization made with surgical steel wire. There was no significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between groups and subgroups. After the pre-established postoperatively, fibrous adhesion from mild to intense between the dura and the implant was noted in animals from both groups, with fibrosis and collagen fibers interspread with the tissue and implant withought, no statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between groups and subgroups. There were cell infiltrates and giant cells that were more intense in the group Q. At 15 and 30 days postoperatively, the films based on chitosan were coated by inflammatory cells with areas of central necrosis. At 30 days postoperatively, the material had a fibrous capsule surrounding the inflammatory focus and the implant was noticed statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) of 5% when comparing the groups and subgroups. Based on the results we can conclude that the film based on chitosan, as well as a free autogenous fat reduces the extent of dural adhesions in rabbits, however, the film based on chitosan as well as any foreign body, induces crhonic and intenses inflammatory responses in the rabbit
