  Physical examination findings, such as the seat belt sign, abdominal bruising, abdominal wound, and abdominal tenderness, were present significantly more frequently in those requiring abdominal surgery (p CONCLUSION: Data from this study solidify the [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Pain and wound hyperalgesia were consistently greater on the "unblocked" side for the 3-wk period of observation. Thus, even imperfect intraoperative attenuation of noxious stimuli can lead to persistent reductions in postoperative pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Can abdominal adhesions be prevented? Abdominal adhesions are difficult to prevent. However, careful, gentle, surgical techniques can minimize the formation of adhesions. Laparoscopic surgery avoids opening up the abdomen with a large incision. [medicinenet.com]
