We have read the debate on peritoneal closure by Cheong et al. with interest (Cheong et al., 2001). The authors state that the long term benefits and hazards of non-closure of the peritoneum are unknown, and expect adhesion related problems. Among the various outcome measures concerning long-term morbidity, adhesion formation/reformation is probably one of the most important ones. The presence ...

Fibrous adhesions remain a major sequela of abdominal surgery. The proinflammatory peptide substance P (SP), known to participate in inflammatory events, may play a key role in adhesion formation. This hypothesis was tested by using an antagonist, CJ-12,255 (Pfizer), that blocks the binding of SP to the neurokinin 1 receptor (NK-1R). Adhesion formation was surgically induced in the peritoneum o...
