    Surgical Adhesion Development and Prevention

    Demonstration by ETHICON, INC.

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.
