Abstract：Postoperative adhesions between abdominal and pelvic organs remain a challenging issue in surgical practice,with severe cases potentially leading to complications such as intestinal obstruction,chronic pain,and infertility.The development of surgical techniques and the application of various anti-adhesion products and methods have contribu-ted to reducing the incidence of these complications to some extent.Postoperative peritoneal lavage,which involves the in-termittent or continuous infusion and drainage of lavage solution via a catheter through the abdominal wall,serves to isolate abdominal organs and remove residual tissue,foreign matter,and inflammatory factors,ultimately reducing adhesion for-mation.This review discusses the role,advantages,and limitations of postoperative lavage in preventing abdominopelvic adhesions.
