Aderenze postchirurgiche: attuali strategie preventive.

The article presents a study on the causes and epidemiology for postoperative adhesions in Italy. Postoperative adhesions usually occur to patients who went through abdominal or pelvic surgery, and laparatomy. Patients experience chronic abdomino-pelvic pain, secondary fertility and an increase risk in bowel obstruction. However, the postoperative adhesion can be prevented by using a minimal invasive surgery technique, by using tissue dehydration during surgery, and the use of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
