Brief summary: Ultrasound visceral slide test for prediction of periumbilical adhesions before gynecologic laparoscopic surgery: a prospective cohort study.

The investigators are planning to conduct a prospective study to evaluate if there is an effect of abdominal wall thickness and body mass index on slide distance of visceral organ during ultrasound examination.
