Insights
Young organisms form peritoneal adhesions faster and more intensely than adults. Postoperative adhesions in children also resolve more quickly, indicating age-related differences in adhesion development and resolution.

Abstract:
Based on the clinical observations and experiments on animals, the authors consider that in young growing organisms peritoneal adhesions are formed more rapidly and intensively than in adults. Moreover, children show a more rapid reverse development of postoperative adhesions.
