background the benefits of laparoscopy over laparotomy include lower blood loss, decreased length of hospital stay, and decreased postoperative pain. it is unknown, however, whether patients with previous surgeries are good candidates for laparoscopic surgery. objectives to determine whether the location and type (laparoscopic surgery vs. laparotomy) of previous abdominal surgery is associated ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Postoperative adhesions occur less often in laparoscopies than in laparotomies, but the incidence can be reduced further. Seprafilm, a sodium hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose absorbable barrier, was developed to prevent adhesions after abdominal surgery, and is approved for postoperative adhesion prevention. However, Seprafilm is seldom used in laparoscopic surgery b...

 Background: Calcium (Ca+2) plays an important role in many biophysiological mechanisms .The present study was carried out to assess alterations in total serum calcium level before and after operations in consider to the type of anesthesia. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 74 women who candidate for gynecological abdominal operations during one year at Al-z...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To review the success and morbidity of laparoscopic major gynecologic surgery in patients with prior laparotomy bowel resection. METHODS Review of a prospective surgical database of all cases of laparoscopic major gynecologic surgery in patients with prior laparotomy bowel resection. No cases were excluded. Bowel diagnoses and procedures were total colectomy for inf...

RESULTS: We identified 132 patients who underwent 186 abdominally based free flaps. 70 patients (104 breast reconstructions) had a prior history of abdominal surgery. 57 patients (73 breast reconstructions) had no prior abdominal surgeries. Five patients underwent simultaneous gynecologic surgery at the time of their free flap harvest; these patients were excluded from analysis. The groups were...
