Postsurgical adhesions, adhesiolysis, preventionAbstract
Every day we know more about the different methods to decrease the incidence of postsurgical pelvic adhesions, since those are associated with a high morbidity and costs.
Realizing that gynecological surgery is one of the main causes in the genesis of adhesions, the objective of the present paper is to review the literature concerning the formation of adhesions' physiology and the different methods used to prevent them.
