Use of barrier products in the prevention of adhesion formation following surgery

Abstract: Postoperative adhesion formation is a significant health-care problem with no universally accepted method of prevention. Barrier methods of prevention have been extensively tested and licensed, and this article examines the evidence.

“…Abdominal and pelvic adhesions are fibrous, band-like structures that form between abdominal organs or between the peritoneum and abdominal wall when trauma such as infection and surgery induces inflammation and disrupts normal tissue [4,5]. Its formation entails a distinct and complex inflammatory cascade with simultaneous epithelisation of the peritoneum over the whole surface immediately after surgery, unlike skin and other tissue that heals from the edges of disrupted epithelium [4,6,7].…”

“…Its formation entails a distinct and complex inflammatory cascade with simultaneous epithelisation of the peritoneum over the whole surface immediately after surgery, unlike skin and other tissue that heals from the edges of disrupted epithelium [4,6,7]. It is reported that the incidence of adhesion formation ranges from 46-65% after a single cesarean intervention [3], and gynaecological and colorectal surgery have been demonstrated to be associated with higher incidence of adhesion development [4]. At the same time, the rate of intestinal obstruction after cesarean section is quoted in the literature to be 0.5 per 1000 and 1% after single and multiple cesarean sections, respectively [8].…”

“…Les adhérences sont des accolements fibreux se développant entre les tissus et les organes intra-abdominaux suite à une réaction inflammatoire du péritoine [1][2][3][4] La fréquence des adhérences rapportée dans la littéra-ture s'étend de 46 à 65 % dans une revue de la littérature publiée par Lyell et al [6]. Cette fréquence était de 43 % (27 % sont denses) dans l'étude de Salim et al [13].…”
