Journal ArticleDOI

Harold Ellis,Brendan Moran,Jeremy N. Thompson,M. C. Parker,Malcolm S Wilson,D. Menzies,Alistair McGuire,Alistair McGuire,A.M. Lower,R. J. S. Hawthorn,Fiona O'Brien,Scot Buchan,Alison M. Crowe +12 more
TL;DR: The frequency of postoperative adhesions after abdominal and pelvic surgery in the general population is investigated to provide a basis for the targeting and assessment of new adhesion-prevention measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of the efficacy and safety of colorectal stents.
TL;DR: Colorectal stents are being used for palliation and as a ‘bridge to surgery’ in obstructing colorectAL cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative adhesions: ten-year follow-up of 12,584 patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery.
M. C. Parker,Harold Ellis,Brendan Moran,Jeremy N. Thompson,Malcolm S Wilson,D. Menzies,Alistair McGuire,A.M. Lower,R. J. S. Hawthorn,Fiona O'Brien,Scot Buchan,Alison M. Crowe +11 more
TL;DR: There is a high relative risk of adhesion-related problems after open lower abdominal surgery and a correspondingly high workload associated with these readmissions, and the study provides sound justification for improved adhesion prevention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The SCAR-3 study: 5-year adhesion-related readmission risk following lower abdominal surgical procedures.
M. C. Parker,Malcolm S Wilson,D Menzies,Graham Sunderland,D. N. Clark,A D Knight,Alison M. Crowe +6 more
TL;DR: The adhesion‐related readmission risk directly associated with common lower abdominal surgical procedures is assessed, taking into account the effect of previous surgery, demography and concomitant disease.
Journal Article
Small bowel obstruction due to postoperative adhesions: treatment patterns and associated costs in 110 hospital admissions.
TL;DR: The impact of admissions for ASBO is considerable in terms of both costs and workload, and adhesion prevention strategies may reduce the workload associated with ASBO.
