Figure 2. Surgical induction of peritoneal adhesions.

Figure 2.

A. An area defined using an underneath 9 mm × 9 mm metal plate was abraded, producing a rough surface with mild petechiae without bleeding or oozing. B. The entirely abraded cecum showing a rough surface of the visceral peritoneum was folded to make contact between the injured surfaces before replacement into the abdominal cavity.
