Molecular And Cellular Mechanism In Peritoneal Adhesion Formation

Intra-abdominal adhesions, as a result of damage to the peritoneum, continue to be a central and current problem in abdominal surgery. By far the majority of adhesion remains symptom-free or even promotes intra-abdominal healing processes. However, 12% of adhesions cause recurring, chronic abdominal complaints and over 3% lead to serious symptoms requiring repeat laparatomies. The most severe complication, adhesion-related ileus, accounts for a considerable proportion of emergency operations (1).
