Abstract
Adhesion prevention measures should be routinely implemented to reduce adhesion formation after cesarean deliveries and thus decrease corresponding sequelae. Critical steps to decrease adhesion formation include practicing meticulous surgical techniques, gentle tissue handling, minimizing ischemia and desiccation, controlling hemostasis, avoiding powdered gloves, and achieving peritoneal closure. Based on available data, adhesion barriers are effective in preventing or reducing adhesions after gynecologic surgery and have also been effective following cesarean sections.
