Epidural fibrosis is seen as a common phenomenon among postlumbar laminectomy syndrome patients, contributing to approximately 60% of symptom recurrence. Percutaneous epidural lysis of adhesions has been described as a modality to effectively manage chronic low back pain secondary to epidural fibrosis. Forty-five patients were randomly assigned, with fifteen patients in the control group, or Gr...

BACKGROUND Among the multiple modalities of treatments available in managing chronic spinal pain, including surgery and multiple interventional techniques, epidural injections by various routes, such as interlaminar epidural injections, caudal epidural injections, transforaminal epidural injections, and percutaneous adhesiolysis are common. Even though the complications of fluoroscopically dir...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of bowel injury in operations requiring adhesiolysis and to assess the impact of adhesiolysis on the incidence of surgical complications, postoperative morbidity, and costs. BACKGROUND Morbidity of adhesiolysis during abdominal surgery seems an important health care problem, but the direct impact of adhesiolysis on inadvertent organ damage, morbidity, and ...

background: the purpose of the study was to evaluate menstrual and reproductive outcome in patients diagnosed with asherman’s syndrome on hysteroscopy and to assess the role of hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. methods: a prospective study was performed for patients having intrauterine adhesion at a tertiary care teaching hospital, indore, india for a period of 2 years. findings at hysteroscopy, deta...

OBJECTIVE To estimate adhesiolysis rates at cesarean delivery (CD) and to estimate costs and clinical implications of performing adhesiolysis at repeat CD. DESIGN Retrospective cohort using secondary data. SETTING Over 500 acute care hospitals in the USA. POPULATION Women ≥15 years old with a medical claim for CD between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2008 who were treated in a hospital t...

BACKGROUND Adhesions are fibrous bands of scar tissue, often a result of surgery, that form between internal organs and tissues, joining them together abnormally. Postoperative adhesions frequently occur following abdominal surgery, and are associated with a large economic burden. This study examines the inpatient burden of adhesiolysis in the United States (i.e., number and rate of events, cos...

Pain treatment can comprise a combination of pharmacological, interventional, surgical, physical, psycological methods. Interventional procedures, particularly minimally invasive percutaneous therapies, have been widely used in recent years. Corticosteroid, hyperbaric saline or oxygen-ozone therapy is a safe procedure for patients in whom pain cannot be relieved by epidural adhesiolysis or othe...

OBJECTIVES To establish the incidence and predictive factors of enterotomy made during adhesiolysis in abdominal wall repair and to assess the impact of enterotomies and long-lasting adhesiolysis on postoperative morbidity such as sepsis, wound infection, abdominal complications and pneumonia, and socioeconomic costs. BACKGROUND Adhesions frequently complicate surgical repair of abdominal wal...
