Intra-abdominal surgery may lead to severe postoperative complications, such as pelvic adhesion, postoperative ileus, and severe pain, due to surgical trauma-induced ischemia and inflammation. Consequently, fibrin persistence may develop in the form of bands, thus affecting the peritoneal surfaces on the opposite side.[1] A second-look laparoscopic survey has revealed that 50% to 100% of pelvic adhesions develop in the first few weeks after surgery.[2] Adhesions may be caused by subfertility, chronic abdominal pain, and dyspareunia.[3] Therefore, their formation must be reduced to prevent subsequent events.

Compared with open surgery, laparoscopy reduces peritoneal trauma and de novo adhesion formation; however, it may cause peritoneal inflammation due to pneumoperitoneum pressure duration and thermal injuries.[4] Therefore, the use of an antiadhesive barri...
