EVER since the advent of aseptic surgery, the occurrence of adhesions after abdominal operations has presented a serious problem to the surgeon. The literature is replete with suggestions as to how these may be prevented, but as yet I know of nothing which has been offered which is really of any great usefulness in the majority of instances. Mlany articles, each supposedly fruitful, in its offerings, have appeared, only to be followed by less favorable reports from other investigators, who were unable to confirm the original findings. The mere number of substances recommended is mute evidence that none is entirely satisfactory.
