Description: This book contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Congress on Pelvic Surgery and Adhesion Prevention. The volume brings together a stellar group of internationally recognized researchers and surgeons to present the latest advances in post-surgical peritoneal repair and adhesion prevention, on developing technology for adhesion prevention, and on recent surgical techniques for adhesion prevention. In addition, the book features a timely section on outcome measures in the economics of surgery, for infertility and ectopic pregnancy, pain, and bowel obstruction as well as a special section on adjuvants for clinical use in ovarian, tubal, uterine, and bowel surgery. This book contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Congress on Pelvic Surgery and Adhesion Prevention, held in San Diego, California from February 29-March 2, 1996.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
