Adhesions perhaps should be considered to be the most frequent complication of abdominopelvic surgery. The incidence is well documented but the burden to the cost of healthcare is not given the recognition it deserves. For any other disease or operation, with a recognized complication with such a high incidence, a prophylactic therapy or preventative strategy would be recommended if not mandatory. Adhesions occur in over 95% of all abdominal operations and can account for up to 6% of all readmissions. The problem affects all ages and exists for the life of the patient.
粘连或许应被视为腹盆腔手术最常见的并发症。其发生率有充分记录，但对医疗保健成本的负担却未得到应有的重视。对于任何其他疾病或手术，若出现如此高发生率的公认并发症，即便不是强制性的，也会推荐采取预防性治疗或预防策略。超过95%的腹部手术都会发生粘连，且粘连导致的再次入院率可达6%。这个问题影响所有年龄段的患者，且伴随患者一生。
