Abstract
Adhesions after intraabdominal surgical procedures are related to high morbidity and mortality. Biomaterials, particularly those made of polypropylene, in the intraabdominal position have to be considered as pathophysiological cofactor in a multifactorial process of adhesion formation. To investigate the adhesive potential induced by the biomaterial, an animal model was performed. In addition, the influence of coverage by omentum or a polyglactin barrier was investigated.Keywords
