A comparative study of postoperative adhesions following laser surgery by laparoscopy versus laparotomy in the rabbit model.
TLDR
Clinical observation that besides reducing operative trauma, discomfort, and cost, laparoscopic laser surgery is very effective in reducing intraperitoneal adhesions and causes significantly less postoperative adhesion formation than does laparotomy is confirmed.About:

Peritoneal adhesions: etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical significance. Recent advances in prevention and management.
TL;DR: The formation of postoperative peritoneal adhesions is an important complication following gynecological and general abdominal surgery, leading to clinical and significant economical consequences and only a meticulous surgical technique can be advocated in order to reduce unnecessary morbidity and mortality rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fewer adhesions induced by laparoscopic surgery
TL;DR: All clinical studies and most of the experimental studies found a reduction of adhesion formation after laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excisional surgery versus ablative surgery for ovarian endometriomata.
TL;DR: In this article, a review was conducted to determine the most effective technique for treating an ovarian endometrioma, either excision of the cyst capsule or drainage and electrocoagulation of cyst wall, measuring the outcomes improvement in pain symptoms and fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peritoneal healing and adhesion formation/reformation
TL;DR: It is still unclear if there is significant individual variation in the peritoneal response to injury, but the understanding of the pathogenesis of adhesion formation and reformation especially at the cellular and molecular level can help to further develop more effective treatments for the prevention ofAdhesion formationand reformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic surgery is not inherently dangerous for patients presenting with benign gynaecologic pathology. Results of a meta-analysis
TL;DR: Laroscopic surgery is not inherently dangerous for patients presenting benign gynaecological pathologies and the potential risk of complications should no longer be advanced as an argument against using laparoscope rather than laparotomy for an operation when the indication allows the choice.
