Unabsorbed intraabdominal polylactide adhesion barrier.

摘要

Adhesion formation even after laparoscopic procedures remains one of the most common complications of abdominal surgery. Intra abdominal adhesions can cause infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and small-bowel obstruction [1,2]. The presence of intra abdominal adhesions increases operating time [3]. In addition, the risk of bowel injury at subsequent surgery [4] has a role in the increase in malpractice lawsuits and health care costs [5].
