Abstract
The formation of adhesions is a significant clinical problem. Complications like bowel obstruction and chronic pelvic pain are known to be related to adhesion formation. Besides these complications, adhesions do play an additional role in the gynaecological patient. Interference with the functioning of the fallopian tubes and ovaries disturbs ovum pickup and sperm transport and may compromise the fertility of patients.
