PERITONEAL HEALING
Micky Trent DVM DACVS
Peritoneal Structure
What are the histologic layers of normal peritoneum? Which vary by species?
Histologic Anatomy
Layers Mesothelial Cells Basement membrane Submesothelial
connective tissue Loose c.t. Species variation
Peritoneal Structure
What are the layers of peritoneum? What is the peritoneal space?
Gross Anatomy
Peritonal cavity Layers
Parietal Visceral
Peritoneal Structure
How is peritoneum innervated? Why should we as surgeons care?
Histologic Anatomy
Sensory Innervation Parietal Layer
Sharp & Deep pain, Stretch
Localizable Not blocked by local
or regional blocks Visceral Layer
Deep pain, stretch NO sharp pain Poorly localizable Can block with direct
application
Peritoneal Structure
What abdominal structures are considered retroperitoneal? Why should we as surgeons care?
Peritoneal Functions
List 4 critical functions that depend on the peritoneum.
Peritoneal Functions
Cell nutrition Peritoneal fluid production Maintain gliding surfaces Waste control
Peritoneal Functions
Cell Nutrition Diffusion
Produce Peritoneal Fluid Transudate from
blood Inflammation
changes volume and character
Peritoneal Functions
Maintain Gliding Surface Surface villi trap
fluid Peritoneal fluid Plasminogen
activators Mesothelial cells Fibrin break down Depressed with
peritoneal trauma
Removal of waste
How is waste removed from the peritoneal cavity? Low MW compounds? Cells? Foreign bodies?
Waste Control
Physical Removal Transmesothelial
Small molecules H20
Stomata/Lymphatics Peritoneal flow to
diaphragm 10 route Diaphram lymphatics Thoracic duct to vena
cava Larger molecules Particles/cells Fluid Omental alternative
Waste Control
Functional Removal Localization
Omental Trapping Fibrin Trapping
Phagocytosis PMNs Macrophages Bacterial kill

Peritoneal Healing
How does the peritoneum respond initially (24hrs) to trauma? Vascular phase? Inflammatory cascade? Coagulation cascade? Link between inflammation and coagulation?
Vascular Response
Brief vasoconstriction Histamine, PGE2 release Local vasodilation & cell influx
Procoagulant factors Platelets adhere to wound bed
Alpha corpuscles degranulate Release PDGF, TGF-β, dense corpuscles
Release epinephrine, serotonin Contribute to PG & leukotriene release
Inflammatory Response
Local release of cytokines Cell migration to wound bed Platelet aggregation
Coagulation cascade activation Initial clot formation
Fibrin deposition Temporary matrix for signaling molecules &
inflammatory cells Temporary bridge between tissues
Coagulation Response
Close overlap with Inflammatory response
Two pathways converging to one Intrinsic pathway
BM damage & collagen exposure Factor XII (Hagemen factor)
Activation of factor II (prothrombin) Activation of factor IIa (thrombin precursor) Thrombin production
Link between coagulation and inflammation
Thrombin Cleaves soluble circulating fibrinogen into
insoluble fibrin clots Factor XII stimulates clot formation and
activation of the fibrinolytic system Fibrinolysis determined by:
tPA (mesothelial cells, leukocytes, tissue) PAI1&2
Peritoneal Healing
How does a peritoneal defect heal? What is the timing? Where do new cells come from? Are there differences in cells shed in a
dialysate? How is ECM formed?
Peritoneal Healing 12-24 hrs – PMNs 24 hrs + macrophages
Cytokine release Day 3
Mesothelial and fibroblast cells appear Area of lesion regresses
Day 7-10 Mesothelial layer reestablished
ECM follows cell migration
Peritoneal Healing
Species variation?
Species variation
tPA vs PAI baseline Human, horses, dogs – tPA high Cows – PAI high
Post-injury Most: tPA down, PAI up Cow: PAI up
Peritoneal Healing
Describe the steps in adhesion formation. What key enzymes are involved? How are these enzymes affected by trauma?
Post-Operative Adhesions
What is the incidence of post-op adhesions? In people? In horses?
Which structures are most commonly involved in identified cases in horses? Why?
Post-Op Adhesions
Humans 67%-93%
Horses 9%-32% Caveats?
Canine/Feline Low
Post-Op Adhesions
Equine SI procedures Regardless of procedure
SI Ventral incision Why??
Peritoneal Adhesions
Are there any beneficial effects of peritoneal adhesions?
Significance of Adhesions
Beneficial Effects Seal Breaks in
continuity Prevent visceral
leakage Neovascularization Stabilize mobile
viscera Bovine, canine,
equine

Peritoneal Adhesions
What are common stimuli for adhesions?
Factors Promoting Adhesions
Suturing Peritoneum!!
Ischemia Serosal trauma
Drying Abrasion Others
Foreign bodies Bacteria
Peritoneal Adhesions
List preventative methods (and mechanisms) for reduction of adhesions
Steps to Minimize Adhesions
Avoid serosal trauma Reduce/avoid foreign bodies Minimize ischemic tissue Minimize bacterial contamination Consider protective coatings
Carboxymethyl cellulose most common Use of heparin debatable (little support)
Products/Approaches
Solid barriers Seprafilm (CMC & HA) Interceed (oxidized cellulose) Hyaluronate membranes
CMC Omentectomy(x) Antiticoagulants - Heparin (x) Fibrinolytics – tPA (cost) Antiinflammatories (~) Lavage (?) Antioxidants (?)
