In article number 1900809, Andrew Z. Wang and co‐workers develop a strategy to prevent postsurgical adhesion using a biologically targeted photo‐crosslinkable nanopatch (pCNP). By forming a protective barrier over injured mesothelium, the pCNP is highly effective and safe in preventing peritoneal excision adhesion in a rodent model. This work presents a novel approach to preventing peritoneal adhesion with nanomaterials.
