Figure 3. — Photomicrographs of the epidural adhesion issues in the laminectomy sites in the control and experimental groups. Representative histological images of collagen tissue proliferation in epidural scar tissue of rats not treated in the control group, and MMC-PLA and MMC-PEG in the experimental groups. The collagen tissues show blue in the section stained with Massons trichrome. The density of collagen tissue in the section treated with MMC-PLA or MMC-PEG was significantly less than that in the control group. MMC-PLA, mitomycin C-polylactic acid; MMC-PEG, mitomycin C-polyethylene glycol.
