Operative laparoscopy for the treatment of localized chronic pelvic-abdominal pain caused by postoperative adhesions
J Gynecol Surg.
1994 Summer.
Abstract
One hundred fifty-six patients with chronic abdominal pain associated with postoperative adhesions were treated with laser laparoscopy. Eighty-eight percent of these patients had complete relief, 9% had satisfactory relief, and 3% required a second laparoscopy to lyse recurrent adhesions. It is concluded that chronic abdominal pain associated with adhesions can be treated successfully with laser laparoscopy.
