The number of blood tissues in adhesions caused by peritoneal injuries was studied for the purpose of testing the anoxia theory of adhesion formation. Experiments were performed on albino male rats. The experimental operative procedure involved multiple trauma of the peritoneum. From these induced traumas it was seen that the omentum was the most important of the intraabdominal organs as a vascular source for the injured peritoneal tracts. Hence the significance of other visceral organs was minimal. 11 histoangiographs depict the experimentally induced adhesions and relaxed vasculature. These results support the view of omenectomy as the method for preventing adhesion formation.
