Core Tip	Laparoscopy reduces de novo adhesion formation but does not reduce adhesion reformation. Adhesion reduction does not necessarily impact clinical outcomes. CO2 pneumoperitoneum causes peritoneal inflammation depending on the insufflation pressure and surgery duration. Broad peritoneal cavity protection by insufflating a low-temperature, humidified gas mixture of CO2, N2O, and O2 seems to represent the best approach for reducing peritoneal inflammation due to CO2 pneumoperitoneum. A global strategy to prevent adhesion formation following laparoscopy should combine broad peritoneal cavity protection with the local application of a barrier.
