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