Prevention of Adhesive Disease of the Abdominal Cavity: The Current State

Abstract

Today, adhesive disease of the abdominal cavity is a disease characterized by a high risk of postoperative complications, a significant level of disability and the likelihood of death. The purpose of the article was to analyze the literature on the etiology, pathogenesis of abdominal adhesive disease, the results of prevention and treatment of this disease and its complications. It was found that at the moment there are no methods for the prevention of adhesive disease with proven effectiveness, and the proposed methods are often multidirectional, based on the subjective vision of the problem by the researcher. Analysis of foreign and domestic literature has shown the absence of barrier agents that meet safety requirements and have a significant preventive effect. Thus, there are currently no standard approaches to the treatment and prevention of abdominal adhesive disease. This issue requires further study.
