The invention relates to a method of treating patients to minimize post-surgical adhesions and a kit useful in the method of the invention. The method is based on the finding that N,O-carboxymethylchitosan (NOCC) has advantageous properties as a wound healing lavage and coating. A NOCC solution is particularly effective as a post-surgical lavage and when used in conjunction with a NOCC gel coating, wound healing rate is unchanged while the number and severity of adhesions is greatly reduced.
