In article number 1900495, Haeshin Lee, Jun Seok Park, and co‐workers demonstrate a body fluid‐resistant intraperitoneal patch inspired by mussel adhesion. The patch seals newly generated leaking sites after colorectal surgery. Also, the patch releases anti‐cancer drugs that suppress recurrent tumors and provides an effective adhesive platform for difficult‐to‐treat diseases in intraperitoneal environments.
