Hydrodissection: An easy way to dissect anatomical planes and complex adhesions

Background: Sharp dissection of adherent tissues resulting from previous sepsis or surgery is frequently time-consuming and sometimes difficult. Methods: The introduction of saline under pressure into the plane of dissection facilitates this task. Results: Hydrodissection both creates and displays the correct plane between adherent tissues. Conclusions: This technique increases the safety and decreases the time spent in adhesiolysis in re-operative surgery.
