OBJECTIVES: We sought to define the role of laparoscopy in identifying the clinical significance, cause, and association between @entity1118 . METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted from October 2004 to July 2005, at the Kiel School of Gynecological Endoscopy, University Hospitals Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel, Germany. Included in the study was the analysis of 462 laparoscopic procedures; 275 (59.5%) of the @entity1 undergoing these procedures had pelvic or abdominal adhesions. Of these, 84 (30.5%) @entity1 were admitted with the main complaint of chronic @entity2371 . Further evaluation and assessment of this group was carried out. RESULTS: Among those @entity1 with adhesions, the second most frequent reason for admission was chronic @entity2371 (30.5%) (P<0.0005). In our study, adhesions were found in 79.2% (n=84) of @entity1 (n=106) with chronic @entity2371 . These adhesions were thin-filmy (19.0%) or thick-fibrous (81.0%) adhesions containing blood vessels. Thick-fibrous adhesions were present in 50.0% of @entity1 at multiple abdominopelvic sites (P<0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Thick-fibrous adhesions that extend beyond the pelvic sidewall can cause significant chronic @entity158 .
