Peritoneal Repair & Post-surgical Adhesion Formation
Demonstration by ETHICON, INC.
It was shown in 1919 that peritoneal healing differs from that of skin. When a defect is made in the parietal peritonium the entire surface becomes epithelialized simultaneously and not gradually from the borders as in epidermalization of skin wounds. While multiplication and migration of mesothelial cells from the margin of the wound may play a small part in the regenerative process, it cannot play a major role, since new mesothelium develops in the centre of a large wound at the same time as it develops in the center of a smaller one. Development of intraperitoneal adhesions is a dynamic process whereby surgically traumatized tissues in apposition bind through fibrin bridges which become organized by wound repair cells, often supporting a rich vascular supply as well as neuronal elements.

Surgical Adhesion Development and Prevention
Demonstration by ETHICON, INC.
Adhesions are scar tissue forming an abnormal connection between two parts of the body. In the context of this paper, we will discuss adhesions in the abdominal cavity. The occurrence of postsurgical adhesions is determined within 5–7 days after peritoneal trauma. While the consequences of adhesions may not manifest for some time, adhesion formation typically begins as soon as two injured peritoneal surfaces are apposed. Separating the injured surfaces with a bioresorbable membrane or film can prevent adhesions.

Adhesion Formation
Demonstration by ETHICON, INC.
Adhesions form when the breakdown of fibrin is suppressed, allowing for its infiltration by fibroblasts and organization into adhesions.
