Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) other abdominopelvic surgeries are often presumed to cause female infertility. This can occur through adhesions formation that result in Intrauterine Adhesions (IUA), Peritubal (PTA) Tubal Occlusion (TO). Hysterosalpingography (HSG) be used diagnose IUA, PTA, TO; the correlations of these findings with histories PID, D&C ...

the objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of topical administration of honey in prevention of or reduction in post-surgical peritoneal adhesions in dog. the study was conducted on 18 adultfemale mixed-breed dogs with a mean ± sd weight of 20 ± 4.25 kg. a standardized surgical trauma (serosaltrauma model) was made in the dogs’ descending colon to induce adhesion formation. t...

BACKGROUND Arthrofibrosis in the suprapatellar pouch and anterior interval can develop after knee injury or surgery, resulting in anterior knee pain. These adhesions have not been biomechanically characterized. METHODS The biomechanical effects of adhesions in the suprapatellar pouch and anterior interval during simulated quadriceps muscle contraction from 0 to 90° of knee flexion were assess...

Cell motility necessitates the rapid formation and disassembly of cell adhesions. We have studied adhesions in a highly motile melanoma cell line using various biochemical approaches and microscopic techniques to image close adhesions. We report that WM-1617 melanoma cells contain at least two types of close adhesion: classic focal adhesions and more extensive, irregularly shaped adhesions that...

Intra-abdominal adhesions are almost inevitable after major abdominal surgery. Postoperative adhesions continue to be the major cause of small bowel obstruction and infertility. Peritoneal lesions caused by abrasion, ischemia, desiccation, infection, thermal injury and foreign bodies are the origin of adhesions. Fibrinous adhesions that develop within a few hours of operational trauma. This fib...

Results In the study, 58 patients had preoperative CT scans and 34 patients did not. Preoperative CT scans identified 36 patients with moderate adhesions and 22 patients with severe adhesions. 13 out of 36 patients (33%) with moderate adhesions on CT scans had moderate adhesions during surgery. 16 out of 22 patients (73%) with severe adhesions on CT scans had severe adhesions during surgery. No...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic ventral incisional hernia repair involves intraabdominal placement of a synthetic mesh, and the possibility of formation of severe visceral adhesions to the prosthesis is a principal concern. Little clinical information based on reoperative findings is available about adhesions to biomaterials placed intraabdominally. We conducted a multi-institutional stu...

BACKGROUND Many surgeons assume that adhesions encountered during surgery negatively influence surgical outcomes. This article attempts to assess the role adhesions have on outcomes of colon cancer surgery. METHODS Records of 1,071 consecutive patients operated for colonic adenocarcinoma (2004-2011) were reviewed. Patients were assigned to 3 groups: no adhesions, any adhesions, or dense adhes...
