Abstract
The development of postoperative adhesions is a frequent occurrence after laparotomy and endoscopic surgery. It is well accepted that careful preparation for surgery and atraumatic surgical technique can prevent adhesions [3]. The effectiveness of several additive agents used for prophylaxis is not yet proven [4]. To study the influence of closing the serosal defects on the incidence of adhesions we carried out an animal study with the use of peritoneal transplants [5].
