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.
