Abstract
Polidocanol was instilled in fire pleural cavities of three pigs. Adhe sions formed in all. Adhesion distribution varied from covering a mino r part to most of the lung, depending on the amount of polidocanol. On e control cavity treated with sodium chloride was unaffected. Microsco py showed fibrous bridges between the pleural layers and mild submesot helial fibrosis and inflammation.
