2024年4月1日 · Abdominal adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form between abdominal tissues and organs. They commonly form after abdominal surgery.

2022年12月14日 · The epidemiology, pathogenesis, approach, and importance of preventing postoperative peritoneal adhesions in adults are reviewed here. The diagnosis and management of small bowel obstruction and infertility are discussed elsewhere.

2024年12月4日 · Peritoneal adhesions are fibrous bands of tissue that form between abdominal tissues and organs, often causing symptoms such as chronic abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, and infertility. These adhesions can develop as a result of abdominal surgery, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or other inflammatory conditions affecting the ...

Peritoneal adhesions are pathological bonds usually between omentum, loops of bowel and the abdominal wall. These bonds may be a thin film of connective tissue, a thick fibrous bridge containing blood vessels and nerve tissue, or a direct contact between two organ surfaces.

Abdominal and pelvic surgery can lead to peritoneal adhesion formation causing infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and intestinal obstruction. Laparoscopy today is considered the gold standard of care in the treatment of several abdominal pathologies as well as in a wide range of vascular diseases.

Aim: To summarize the most common etiologic factors and describe the pathophysiology in the formation of peritoneal adhesions, to outline their clinical significance and consequences, and to evaluate the pharmacologic, mechanical, and surgical adjuvant strategies to minimize peritoneal adhesion formation.

2020年10月15日 · Peritoneal adhesions (PA) are a postoperative syndrome with high incidence rate, which can cause chronic abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, and female infertility. Previous studies have identified that PA are caused by a disordered feedback of blood coagulation, inflammation, and fibrinolysis.

Peritoneal adhesions are common in cases where the peritoneal serosal surface has been previously violated or traumatized, either due to prior inflammation from peritonitis, surgery, peritoneal dialysis catheters, or ventriculoperitoneal CSF shunts.

Post-surgical adhesions are internal scar tissue and a major health and economic burden. Adhesions affect and involve the peritoneal lining of the abdominal cavity, which consists of a continuous mesothelial covering of the cavity wall and majority of internal organs.

5 天之前 · Peritoneal adhesions were first observed in 1836, and in 1849 and lymph vessel coagulation was proposed as a cause . Their precise pathophysiology has until now eluded researchers. Despite numerous clinical and experimental studies, the pathogenesis of postsurgical adhesions is still debatable.
