SOGC clinical practice guidelines: Adhesion prevention in gynaecological surgery: no. 243, June 2010.
pubmed.gov - 11/1/10
To review the etiology and incidence of and associative factors in the formation of adhesions following gynaecological surgery. To review evidence for the use of available means of adhesion prevention following gynaecological surgery.|Women undergoing pelvic surgery are at risk of developing abdominal and/or pelvic adhesive disease postoperatively. Surgical technique and commercial adhesion prevention systems may decrease the risk of postoperative adhesion formation.|The outcomes measured are the incidence of postoperative adhesions, complications related to the formation of adhesions, and further intervention relative to adhesive disease.|Medline, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library were searched for articles published in English from 1990 to March 2009, using appropriate controlled vocabulary and key words. Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized control trials/controlled clinical trials, cohort studies, and meta-analyses specifically addressing postoperative adhesions
Adhesion formation after previous caesarean section-a meta-analysis and systematic review.
pubmed.gov - 3/1/11
The optimal technique for performing caesarean section with respect to minimising postoperative adhesions has not been determined.|To evaluate adhesion formation for three common caesarean section techniques in women undergoing repeat caesarean section surgeries.|A database was constructed from Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, National Science Digital Library, China Biological Medicine Database and through contact with experts in this field from January 1990 to May 2010.|Studies were included if they examined adhesion formation in repeat caesarean sections as a primary objective, delineated a clear study design, specified an adhesion scoring system, and had sufficient patient exclusion criteria.|We abstracted data regarding adhesion formation. The Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model was employed for all analyses using odds ratio or inverse variance, along with 95% CI.|Thirty-three qualified studies including 4423 women were analysed. There were 406 adhesions among 571 women and 238

Hyaluronic acid fluid agents for the prevention of adhesions after fertility-preserving gynecological surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
pubmed.gov - 5/1/07
To investigate the role of hyaluronic acid-based fluid agents in the prevention of adhesions after fertility-preserving gynecological surgery.|Meta-analysis.|The authors searched the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group Specialized Register of Controlled Trials, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and EMBASE for randomized controlled trials of hyaluronic acid fluid agents compared with no treatment or placebo.|Women undergoing fertility-preserving gynecological surgery.|Hyaluronic acid fluid agents.|[1] Prevalence and change in adhesion severity at second-look laparoscopy and [2] live birth rate.|Four studies were included in the meta-analysis. The use of hyaluronic acid agents was associated with a decrease in the prevalence of adhesions at second-look laparoscopy (odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.19 to 0.51) and a lesser chance of deterioration of preexisting adhesions (odds ratio, 0.28; 95% confidence interval, 0.12 to 0.66).
Barrier agents for adhesion prevention after gynaecological surgery.
pubmed.gov - 1/1/08
Pelvic adhesion can form as a result of inflammation, endometriosis or surgical trauma. During pelvic surgery, strategies to reduce pelvic adhesion formation may include placing synthetic barrier agents such as oxidised regenerated cellulose, polytetrafluoroethylene or Fibrin sheets between the pelvic structures.|To assess the effect of physical barriers used during pelvic surgery in women of reproductive age on pregnancy rates, pelvic pain, or postoperative adhesion reformation.|We searched the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group Trials Register (searched September 2007) which is based on regular searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and CENTRAL, plus handsearching of 20 relevant journals and conference proceedings, and searches of several key grey literature sources. In addition, companies were contacted for unpublished trials.|Any randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the use of physical barriers versus no treatment or other physical barriers in the
