Role of Laparoscopy in Management of Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction
Muhammad Medhat Kassem;
Abstract
The formation of peritoneal adhesions continues to plague patients, surgeons and society. Although research in this area is ongoing, there is currently no method that is 100% effective in adhesion prevention, nor is there any way to permanently remove them once they have formed.
Postoperative adhesions are consequences of abdominal and pelvic surgery, no matter whether this performed open or laparoscopic technique. The most important morbidity is small bowel obstruction but other complications include female infertility, dyspareunia and increased risk of visceral injury at subsequent laparotomy or laparoscopy.
As our understanding of the specific mechanisms involved in peritoneal repair evolves, it seems likely that specific targets for adhesion prevention will be identified and evaluated
