Abstract
Postoperative adhesion (POA) is a serious complication accompanied with various surgeries. Polymer material-based physical barriers have attracted a large amount of attention in POA prevention. The polymer barriers can effectively avoid the formation of fibrous tissues among normal organs by reducing the interconnection of injured tissues. In this review, specific features of the natural and synthetic polymer materials for application in POA prevention were presented, and the possible prospects were predicted. All in all, our work can provide inspiration for researchers to choose proper polymer materials for preclinical and even clinical anti-adhesion studies.
