Surgical adhesions among women undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery with or without adhesiolysis - prevalence, severity, and implications: retrospective cohort study at a University Hospital.

Adhesions were prevalent in gynecological patients with previous abdominopelvic surgery. They were a significant contributor to the gynecological and reproductive issues. To minimize the risk of postoperative adhesions, laparoscopic approach should be encouraged instead of traditional surgery and rates of cesarean section should be reduced. Further high-quality studies are needed to establish conclusion and practical guidance toward the use of adhesion barriers.
