Different techniques of peritoneal closure were evaluated on their effect on the development of postoperative adhesions. Sixty rats were divided into 3 groups of 20 and each group was assigned to one technique. The peritoneum was closed in the 2 groups using different techniques; conventional or edge to edge in the first group and everted edges in the second. In the third group, the peritoneum was not closed. This study showed that there was a significant reduction in the development of postoperative adhesions with one closure of the peritoneum. Suturing of the edges of the peritoneum increased the incidence as well as the severity of postoperative adhesions.
