CASE DESCRIPTION: A 28-year-old woman with a history of 5 abdominal/pelvic surgeries presented with right-sided lower abdominal and anterior hip pain, which had been present since she had undergone a laparoscopic appendectomy with a right ovarian cystectomy[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
RESULTS: Nineteen of 19 specimens were positive for PR; 16 of 19 specimens were positive for ER, which was present in a variety of the different cell types constituting adhesion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Agreement was present between surgeons regarding estimated prognosis for microsurgery and also in recommending management, particularly when prognosis was considered poor and IVF was recommended.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OUTCOMES: Following 5 sessions of physical therapy over a 3-week period that included STM and therapeutic exercises, followed by 5 additional sessions over a 4-week period that focused on therapeutic exercises, the patient reported substantially decreased[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In over 90% of adhesions and 96% of endometriotic implants the Nd:YAG laser could be delivered to the site and be used to restore normal anatomy. The exception was deep bowel involvement with endometriosis, which was not treated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Sixty-seven women with extensive pelvic adhesions, including hydrosalpinx, underwent a laparoscopic surgical procedure over the past eight years. Only cases in which ovum pickup was greatly impaired by adhesions were included.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The over 400,000 annual adhesion-related hospitalizations in the USA rival those for heart, hip and appendix operations with annual direct costs to the health system over 5 billion.[hormonesmatter.com]

Adhesions may be responsible for chronic persistent abdominalpain without associated pelvic pathology. Though adhesions probably cause pain by entrapment of expansile viscera, the relationship of adhesions to abdominalpain is still controversial.[endogyn.com]
There was a significant association between the presence of anterior compartment adhesions and chronic pelvicpain.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We conclude that the use of the Nd:YAG laser is an appropriate method to laparoscopically treat pelvicpain resulting from endometriosis or pelvic adhesions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Adhesions and Chronic PelvicPain (CPP) ADHESIONS are believed to cause pelvicpain by tethering down organs and tissues, causing traction (pulling) of nerves. Nerve endings may become entrapped within a developing adhesion.[adhesions.org]
We Treat PelvicPain Without Drugs or Surgery Pelvicpain can be debilitating. Many women are frustrated to find that their physician doesn’t always know the cause of their pain.[clearpassage.com]

Dyspareunia – Pain during sexual intercourse. This can be caused when the ovaries become stuck down by scar tissue and can result in pain during deep penetration.[pelvicpain.org.uk]
These cells then create an acute inflammatory reaction during menses that can result in pain (dysmenorrhea) and/or local pelvic adhesions.[thenewjerseyfemaleinfertilitycenter.com]
Dysmenorrhea, or painful periods, is reported in 28-63% of women subsequently diagnosed with endometriosis.[gynob.com]
Other studies find that adhesions are the most common reason for chronic pelvicpain in women. This pain occurs because adhesions bind together normally separate organs and tissues.[healthywomen.org]
Physical examination predictors associated with the presence of adhesions were uterine immobility, a right adnexalmass and right adnexal tenderness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
PATIENTS: Fifty-nine women with an adnexalmass diagnosed by two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography. INTERVENTION: Preoperative transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasonography and serum CA 125 level, followed by laparoscopy or laparotomy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Many approaches have been tried, but intraperitoneal treatment seems to be the most efficacious. Some major landmarks led to the development of the intraperitoneal substances currently used to prevent postoperative pelvic adhesions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Outlook (Prognosis) The outcome is good in most cases. Possible Complications Adhesions can cause various disorders, depending on the tissues affected. In the eye, adhesion of the iris to the lens can lead to glaucoma.[ufhealth.org]
Adhesions Prognosis Adhesions requiring surgery commonly come back because surgery itself causes adhesions.[emedicinehealth.com]
RESULTS: There was a strong correlation between the degree of intratubal damage and the extent of pelvic adhesions when the etiology was previous pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) but not when the underlying etiology was endometriosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
