Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion-related hospital readmissions after abdominal and pelvic surgery: a retrospective cohort study
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
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 impact of adhesions on hospital readmissions over ten years after 8849 open gynaecological operations: an assessment from the Surgical and Clinical Adhesions Research Study.
TL;DR: The epidemiology of, and the clinical burden related to, adhesions following gynaecological surgery are studied to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between surgery and adhesion formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion-related readmissions following gynaecological laparoscopy or laparotomy in Scotland: an epidemiological study of 24 046 patients.
A.M. Lower,R. J. S. Hawthorn,D. N. Clark,James Boyd,Alan Finlayson,A. D. Knight,Alison M. Crowe +6 more
TL;DR: With the exception of Laparoscopic sterilizations, open and laparoscopic gynaecological surgery are associated with comparable risks of adhesion-related readmissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical impact of adhesions following surgery in the upper abdomen
J. N. Thompson,Harold Ellis,M. C. Parker,D. Menzies,Brendan Moran,Malcolm S Wilson,A. McGuire,A.M. Lower,R. J. S. Hawthorn,Fiona O'Brien,Scot Buchan,Alison M. Crowe +11 more
TL;DR: The Surgical and Clinical Adhesions Research (SCAR) study set out to determine the long‐term morbidity associated with postoperative adhesions following open abdominal and pelvic surgery, including the burden associated with adhesion after surgery in the upper abdomen.
