Postoperative anti-adhesion ability of a novel carboxymethyl chitosan from silkworm pupa in a rat cecal abrasion model
2016, Materials Science and Engineering CCitation Excerpt :Many procedures can induce adhesion, including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hysterectomy, colectomy, and abdominal vascular operations [1,2]. Many postoperative complications occur due to adhesion, including chronic abdominal pain [3–5], intestinal obstructions [6,7] and infertility [8,9]. At present, the methods used to prevent postoperative adhesion mainly include the use of a physical barrier and prevention and control via drugs.
Visceral mobilization can lyse and prevent peritoneal adhesions in a rat model
2012, Journal of Bodywork and Movement TherapiesCitation Excerpt :Peritoneal adhesions have been reported as an adverse side effect of surgery for more than a century (Hertzler, 1919), and occur in 90–100% of cases following surgery (Menzies and Ellis, 1990; Stanciu and Menzies, 2007). They are a leading cause of bowel obstruction, infertility, pelvic pain, and repeated surgeries (Almeida and Val-Gallas, 1997; Attard and MacLean, 2007; Beck et al., 1999; Menzies and Ellis, 1990; Parker et al., 2007; Stanciu and Menzies, 2007). Adhesions are pathological bands of fibrous connective tissue that occur between abdominal or pelvic organs and other structures, including viscera and the abdominal wall.
Miniaturizing the laparoscope: Current applications of micro- and minilaparoscopy
2008, International Journal of Gynecology and ObstetricsCitation Excerpt :Findings often included tender endometriosis implants and adhesions, focal visceral discomfort of the reproductive viscera or bladder, and generalized visceral sensitivity of the peritoneal lining. Postoperative improvement has ranged from 44%–94% in the different series [8,12,13]. However, without the benefit of randomized controlled trials, caution should be undertaken prior to making any conclusions about the absolute benefit of this diagnostic approach based solely on the small case series previously reported.
Significance of laparoscopy in the management of chronic pelvic pain
2007, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :It should be emphasized that laparoscopy is the only procedure that can safely exclude any abnormality in the minor pelvis which may be responsible for chronic pelvic pain. Furthermore, a new technique of microlaparoscopy and “pain-mapping” under local anaesthesia is becoming more widely used for more accurate diagnosis [10,11]. This method, however, has not yet been introduced into routine clinical practice.
