The objective of this experimental study was to assess the effectiveness of ADCON T/N in reducing perinerural adhesions when applied around a previously exposed and then anastomosed peripheral nerve in a rat model. ⋯ ADCON-TN decreased fibrosis around the nerve anastomosis sites and did not impede growth between the severed ends of the axons. If reoperation becomes necessary, a reduction of fibrosis would facilitate access to the old site and decrease the risk of nerve lesions.
