Postoperative abdominal adhesions (PAAs) represent a frequent condition occurring in more than 90% of patients undergoing abdomen and pelvic surgeries, which can cause chronic abdominal pain, female infertility, and repeated bowel obstruction, requiring repetitive surgical interventions causing morbidity and mortality, as well as high costs. It is therefore of paramount clinical importance and significance to develop practical and reliable strategies for preventing the occurrence of PAAs.
