Pathophysiological Consideration

According to Bove and Chapelle (2012):

Inflammation caused by peritoneal trauma (any etiology) leads to a

disruption of the balance between the fibrin-forming and fibrindissolving

capacities of the peritoneum, favoring the deposition of a

fibrin-rich exudate on the damaged area. If the fibrin is not resolved

by the fibrinolytic system within days, adhesions form. Persistent

adhesions can prevent the normal sliding of the viscera during

peristalsis and movements of the body, such as respiration.
