Adhesive process as a problem of oncology abdominal operative surgery

Formation of intra-abdominal adhesions is a common consequence of abdominal surgery. Operative trauma is an essential component of any surgical intervention. This problem is particularly relevant in patients with intestinal obstruction resulting from a tumor, when it is necessary to perform reconstructive surgery after urgent obstructive resection of the colon. The review presents the data on current views of epidemiology, etiology, and pathogenesis as well as quantitative and qualitative classifications of intra-abdominal adhesions. The methods of prevention and diagnosis of abdominal adhesions have been discussed. The results of the effectiveness of the use of surgical, pharmacological and barrier methods for adhesion prevention have been presented.
