Brief Summary
Abdominal adhesions frequently occur after surgery and may be one of the main reasons to cause discomfort, pain and related bowel movement symptoms. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of DividPro film and its potential effectiveness for reducing the incidence of abdominal adhesion. Treatment group will have DividPro film implantation right before the closure of surgical incision wound. Control group will have standard care without any anti-adhesion related products. In addition to adverse event assessment and safety lab tests, participants will accept abdominal ultrasound and quality of life questionnaire at each visit for effectiveness evaluation.

Interventions
DividPro Film is a sterile biodegradable translucent film that served as a physical barrier for preventing the adhesion between two adjacent layers of tissue in wound healing process.
