Tingstedt, Bobby LU ; Isaksson, Karolin LU ; Andersson, Ellen LU and Andersson, Roland LU (2007) In European Surgical Research 39(5). p.259-268
Abstract
Intra-abdominal adhesions are normally found after most surgical procedures. Many of the adhesions are asymptomatic, but in about 5% they will lead to readmission due to adhesion-related disorders, such as small bowel obstruction, pelvic pain and infertility. This review discusses possible ways to prevent abdominal adhesions and provides an update as comes to where we stand today in research regarding experimental and clinical use of various antiadhesive agents.
