Methods for Assessing the Severity of Adhesions in the Experiment 
 and Clinical Setting

The paper highlights major known approaches for an objective assessment of the severity adhesive process in abdominal cavity. scales used experimental studies vivo and clinic are considered separately. Considering various goals objectives study, a wide range has been proposed, taking into account type animals, degree surgical zone involvement process, deformation hollow organ, prevalence cavity, adhesion density shape, their vascularization, or combination above criteria. most universal scale applied clinical setting is Peritoneal Adhesion Index (PAI), which takes physical properties peritoneal adhesions. To satisfy simplified (Nair et al.) more detailed (Ayushinova N.I. co-authors) characterizing can be with high objectivity informative.
