Effectiveness of Intraperitoneal Surfactant in Preventing Intraabdominal Adhesions

Fibrosis and inflammation were also significantly lower with surfactant treatment. Results suggest that intraperitoneal surfactant can effectively prevent postoperative intraabdominal adhesion formation, highlighting its potential therapeutic value in reducing complications associated with abdominal surgeries.
