Adhesions are fibrous bands that connect tissue surfaces where anatomical connections do not normally exist. Adhesion tenacity appears to be related to maturity, as they can be filmy or heavily vascularized with sensory nerve fibers. Adhesions are formed after a tissue surface has been injured (abrasion, desiccation, lysis, etc.) and the subsequent process of fibrinolysis is interrupted. Adhesions develop in more than 90% of patients undergoing an intra-abdominal surgical procedure. The clinically relevant symptoms of adhesion formation are small bowel obstruction, secondary infertility and pain. Other consequences and complications of postsurgical intra-abdominal adhesion formation include inadvertent enterotomy and increased dissection time due to adhesiolysis during repeat surgery. The C-Qur™ Film offers reduction of adhesion formation and the corresponding potential reductions in small bowel obstruction, secondary infertility, pain and incidence of enterotomies and prolonged dissection time during subsequent abdominal surgery.
