In women who have complications, in the form of confirmed adhesion disease, there is infertility and miscarriage, menstrual cycle disorders in 60% of cases. It should be noted that among women with adhesions, 8.02% had ectopic pregnancies. In addition, every fifth woman with adhesions in the abdominal cavity has endometriosis - 3.08% of cases. Postoperative complications in patients operated on for acute appendicitis are 4-15%, and the mortality rate of acute appendicitis is 0.1-10%.
