Spinal peridural fibrosis following total laminectomy in New Zealand White rabbits was significantly decreased by the intraoperative application of GT1587, a semi-synthetic carbohydrate polymer. The application of a similar polymer, GT1043, or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was not as effective. Laminectomies were performed at L-2 and L-4 in 25 rabbits. Absorbable gelatin sponge soaked with GT1043, GT1587, or PBS was applied in a blinded fashion to the operative sites, with untreated (sham… Expand
