- W2517503705 abstract "A surgical trauma results within minutes in exudation, platelets, and fibrin deposition. Within hours, the denuded area is covered by tissue repair cells/macrophages, starting a cascade of events. Epithelial repair starts on day 1 and is terminated by day 3. If repair is delayed by decreased fibrinolysis, local inflammation, or factors in peritoneal fluid, fibroblast growth starting on day 3 and angiogenesis starting on day 5 results in adhesion formation. For adhesion formation, quantitatively more important are factors released into the peritoneal fluid after retraction of the fragile mesothelial cells and acute inflammation of the entire peritoneal cavity. This is caused by mechanical trauma, hypoxia (e.g., CO2 pneumoperitoneum), reactive oxygen species (ROS; e.g., open surgery), desiccation, or presence of blood, and this is more severe at higher temperatures. The inflammation at trauma sites is delayed by necrotic tissue, resorbable sutures, vascularization damage, and oxidative stress. Prevention of adhesion formation therefore consists of the prevention of acute inflammation in the peritoneal cavity by means of gentle tissue handling, the addition of more than 5% N2O to the CO2 pneumoperitoneum, cooling the abdomen to 30°C, prevention of desiccation, a short duration of surgery, and, at the end of surgery, meticulous hemostasis, thorough lavage, application of a barrier to injury sites, and administration of dexamethasone. With this combined therapy, nearly adhesion-free surgery can be performed today. Conditioning alone results in some 85% adhesion prevention, barriers alone in 40%–50%.

The pathophysiology of adhesion formation has been considered to be a local healing process of opposing surgical lesions (14Mais V.

Over the past decade the important role of the entire peritoneal cavity in this process became apparent, and the combined treatment of the peritoneal cavity during surgery together with application of a barrier after surgery resulted in nearly adhesion-free surgery, which provides the additional benefits of less postoperative pain and a faster recovery (18Koninckx P.R. Corona R. Timmerman D. Verguts J. Adamyan L. Peritoneal full-conditioning reduces postoperative adhesions and pain: a randomised controlled trial in deep endometriosis surgery.J Ovarian Res. 2013; 6: 90Crossref PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar). This prompted us to review the role of the peritoneal cavity in the pathophysiology and in the prevention of postoperative adhesion formation. The United States National Library of Medicine (www.pubmed.com) from 2000 to May 2016 was searched for “postoperative adhesions” OR “peritoneal adhesions” (n = 4,826) together with factors in peritoneal cavity by adding “peritoneal cavity” (n = 257 of which seven relevant), “cooling” (n = 5), “temperature” (n = 39), or “N2O” (n = 2). Because relevant articles could not be identified the 2,058 articles on adhesions since 2010 were hand searched. The peritoneum has a large surface of 1.7 m2 and is composed of a single layer of mesothelial cells, a basal membrane, and some loose connective tissue resting on the underlying tissues with blood vessels and lymphatics. The mesothelial cells facilitate gliding of bowels by means of microvilli, glycosaminoglycans, and surfactant. The intact peritoneal cavity is a virtual cavity similar to the inside of mouth and bowels. The peritoneum used to be considered a semipermeable membrane with fast diffusion of fluid and small molecules but limited diffusion of larger molecules. Indeed, the concentrations of smaller blood proteins, such as albumin, LH, and FSH, are 40% lower than in plasma, whereas larger molecules, such as factors V and VIII, are virtually absent, preventing thrombin activation. Locally secreted macromolecules as CA125 and glycodelins accumulate with concentrations much higher than in plasma (19Koninckx P.R. Heyns W. Verhoeven G. Van B.H. Lissens W.D.

Muyldermans M. Meuleman C. Cornillie F.J. CA 125 in the management of endometriosis.Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 1993; 49: 109-113Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Google Scholar). Mesothelial cells also actively regulate the exchange with vessels and extracellular spaces by means of gap junctions and vesicular transport. Surprisingly, the intact mesothelial layer also actively inhibits the diffusion of gases such as CO2 (25Mynbaev O.A. Molinas C.R. Adamyan L.V. Vanacker B. Koninckx P.R.

A preliminary study.Hum Reprod. 2002; 17: 1623-1629Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) and N2O (unpublished observations). In women, the peritoneal fluid also contains transudation from growing ovarian follicles, increasing the volume and the concentrations of sex steroid hormones. The peritoneal cavity thus is a microenvironment with specific concentrations of hormones, cytokines, growth factors, cellular components such as macrophages, natural killer cells, and lymphocytes, and a specific immune system. Peritoneal fluid circulates clockwise, explaining a higher incidence of endometriosis on the left side. The peritoneum also has specific pain receptors (27Cervero F. Visceral versus somatic pain: similarities and differences.Dig Dis. 2009; 27 Suppl 1: 3-10Crossref PubMed Scopus (23) Google Scholar, 28Cervero F. Laird J.M. Visceral pain.Lancet. 1999; 353: 2145-2148Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (301) Google Scholar). The peritoneal cavity therefore has to be considered as a separate active organ and not a passive container (29Koninckx P.R. Kennedy S.H. Barlow D.H. Endometriotic disease: the role of peritoneal fluid.Hum Reprod Update. 1998; 4: 741-751Crossref PubMed Scopus (151) Google Scholar, 30Koninckx P.R. Kennedy S.H. Barlow D.H. Pathogenesis of endometriosis: the role of peritoneal fluid.Gynecol Obstet Invest. 1999; 47 Suppl 1: 23-33Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). The large flat mesothelial cells react within seconds to minor trauma, such as exposure to air, by retraction resulting in bulging of cells and consequent direct exposure of the basal membrane (31Volz J. Koster S. Spacek Z. Paweletz N. Characteristic alterations of the peritoneum after carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum.Surg Endosc. 1999; 13: 611-614Crossref PubMed Scopus (87) Google Scholar). This retraction is so rapid that in vivo fixation is necessary to study the intact mesothelial layer. This retraction increases over time (25Mynbaev O.A. Molinas C.R. Adamyan L.V. Vanacker B. Koninckx P.R.

A preliminary study.Hum Reprod. 2002; 17: 1623-1629Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). Identified traumas are mechanical trauma, exposure to a CO2 pneumoperitoneum (32Molinas C.R. Mynbaev O. Pauwels A.

Hypoxaemia induced by CO2 or helium pneumoperitoneum is a co-factor in adhesion formation in rabbits.Hum Reprod. 2000; 15: 1758-1763Crossref PubMed Google Scholar), desiccation, infection, and chemical irritants. Normal saline solution detaches the mesothelial cells after 30 minutes with a loss of fibrinolytic activity (34Ryan G.B. Grobety J. Majno G. Mesothelial injury and recovery.Am J Pathol. 1973; 71: 93-112PubMed Google Scholar). This “toxicity” was confirmed recently in vitro (35Polubinska A. Breborowicz A. Staniszewski R. Oreopoulos D.G.

Mackowiak B. Breborowicz A. Normal saline may promote formation of peritoneal adhesions.Int J Clin Exp Med. 2015; 8: 8828-8834PubMed Google Scholar). Within hours transforming growth factor β increases and tissue plasminogen activator decreases. By retraction, the contiguous mesothelial cells are transformed into individual cells which causes passive diffusion through the exposed basal membrane (31Volz J. Koster S. Spacek Z. Paweletz N.

Postoperative inflammation in the abdominal cavity increases adhesion formation in a laparoscopic mouse model.Fertil Steril. 2011; 95: 1224-1228Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (28) Google Scholar). The peritoneal cavity thus becomes part of the body, which is an efficient defense mechanism against infection via recruiting immunoglobulins and macrophages. Similarly the decreased bowel motility helps to keep an infection localized. This retraction and the subsequent passive diffusion also explains the increasing resorption of CO2 (25Mynbaev O.A. Molinas C.R. Adamyan L.V. Vanacker B. Koninckx P.R.

A preliminary study.Hum Reprod. 2002; 17: 1623-1629Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) requiring increasing ventilation during laparoscopic surgery. The repair of a peritoneal injury with damage of the basal membrane and the subendothelial connective tissue is a strictly timed process (Fig. 1) . Within minutes, with onset of acute inflammation and activation of the coagulation cascade, platelets attach and coalesce over the lesion. The increased blood flow, dilation of arterioles, increased permeability of the capillaries, and migration of neutrophils and macrophages onto the lesion forms a fibrin mesh. Within hours, the lesion is covered with macrophages and/or “tissue repair cells” which acquire enhanced fibrinolytic activity (34Ryan G.B. Grobety J. Majno G. Mesothelial injury and recovery.Am J Pathol. 1973; 71: 93-112PubMed Google Scholar). These cells start to remove cell debris while platelet-derived growth factors activate migration and proliferation of fibroblast/mesothelial cells. Visible mesothelial cell growth starts after 24 hours, followed by fibroblast proliferation on day 3 and angiogenesis on day 5. It is unclear whether these cells are fibroblasts, macrophages, or stem cells (44Kim Y.D. Jun Y.J. Kim J. Kim C.K.

Mesothelial cells: their structure, function and role in serosal repair.Respirology. 2002; 7: 171-191Crossref PubMed Scopus (182) Google Scholar). Mesothelial cells and the endothelial and hematopoietic cells are derived from a common progenitor cell originating embryologically in the splanchnic mesothelium (52Munoz-Chapuli R. Perez-Pomares J.M. Macias D. Garcia-Garrido L. Carmona R. Gonzalez M. Differentiation of hemangioblasts from embryonic mesothelial cells? A model on the origin of the vertebrate cardiovascular system.Differentiation. 1999; 64: 133-141Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar). Opposing lesions attach with a fibrin mesh. In the absence of bowel movements, nonopposing lesions can attach as well, because the inflammatory process damages the fragile mesothelial cells of opposing organs. The time courses of repair and cell proliferation explain why the speed of fibrinolysis (53Holmdahl L.E. The role of fibrinolysis in adhesion formation.Eur J Surg Suppl. 1997; : 24-31PubMed Google Scholar) that breaks this fibrin attachment determines whether the healing results in repair (54DiZerega G.S. Campeau J.D. Peritoneal repair and post-surgical adhesion formation.Hum Reprod Update. 2001; 7: 547-555Crossref PubMed Scopus (172) Google Scholar) or adhesion formation. If fibrinolysis is fast, the mesothelial repair, starting on day 1 from numerous small islands (55Gomel V. Urman B. Gurgan T. Pathophysiology of adhesion formation and strategies for prevention.J Reprod Med. 1996; 41: 35-41PubMed Google Scholar), is completed within 3 days, i.e., before the fibroblast and angiogenetic proliferation processes become fully activated. This also explains why repair of small and large areas is equally rapid (56Ellis H. Harrison W. Hugh T.B. The healing of peritneum under normal and pathological conditions.Br J Surg. 1965; 52: 471-476Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). If this repair mechanism is not completed by day 3, the proliferating fibroblasts invade the fibrin scaffold, which together with angiogenesis starting on day 5 leads invariably to adhesion formation. Repair can be delayed by local factors such as a decreased fibrinolysis, presence of necrotic tissue, tissue ischemia, and oxidative stress secondary to vascular damage or sutures, and by infection (57Awonuga A.O. Belotte J. Abuanzeh S. Fletcher N.M. Diamond M.P. Saed G.M. Advances in the pathogenesis of adhesion development: the role of oxidative stress.Reprod Sci. 2014; 21: 823-836Crossref PubMed Scopus (7) Google Scholar). Furthermore, the injured area may be shielded from the blood stream through vascular damage, and from the peritoneal fluid by the fibrin plug. A drug therefore would have difficulty reaching the injured area. This explains why the effect of tissue plasminogen activator, administered intraperitoneally after a minor surgical trauma, varies from poor (58Hellebrekers B.W. Trimbos-Kemper T.C. Trimbos J.B.

Ussia A. Adamyan L. The role of the peritoneal cavity in adhesion formation.Fertil Steril. 2012; 97: 1297Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (2) Google Scholar). In a laparoscopic mouse model, adhesions between opposing lesions in the lower abdomen increase proportionally to the duration of bowel manipulation in the upper abdomen (61Schonman R. Corona R.

The severity of the acute inflammation in the entire peritoneal cavity and the associated enhanced adhesion formation is the sum of the duration and intensity of all the factors that damage the mesothelial cells. The mechanical trauma caused by manipulation explains the decrease in the rate of adhesions with increased surgical experience, as shown in learning curves in rabbits and in mice (63Ordonez J.L.

Indeed, the CO2 pneumoperitoneum–enhanced adhesion formation is absent in mice deficient of one or both of the two hypoxemia-inducible factors, HIF-1α and HIF-2α. The severity of the effect increases exponentially when partial oxygen concentrations are below 7 mm Hg (or 1% of oxygen), which is consistent with the affinity of O2 for the HIF receptor. The effect increases with the intraperitoneal pressure (68Yesildagla" @default.
