Global recommendations on adhesion prophylaxis in gynaecological laparoscopic surgery

R L De Wilde et al. Facts Views Vis Obgyn. 2024 Sep.

Abstract

Adhesions are recognised as one of the most common complications of abdominal surgery; their diagnosis and prevention remains a significant unmet need in surgical therapy, affecting negatively a patient's quality of life and healthcare budgets. In addition, postoperative pelvic adhesions pose a high risk of reduced fertility in women of childbearing age. These 2023 Global Recommendations on Adhesion Prevention in Gynaecological Laparoscopic Surgery provide agreed-upon statements to guide clinical practice, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.
