Abstract

Background: Abdominal surgery can lead to intra-abdominal adhesions with significant morbidity and mortality. To prevent adhesions, an experimental study was planned to designate the effects of low molecular weight.(LMW) heparins and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy both on the formation of adhesions and wound healing.
