Second-look laparoscopy adhesiolysis. The procedure of choice for preventing adhesion recurrence.
A study was designed to determine the efficacy of second-look laparoscopy adhesiolysis in preventing adhesion recurrence seven days after conservative microsurgical reconstructive surgery on the uterotuboovarian complex. Third-look laparoscopy was used to evaluate the second-look laparoscopy adhesiolysis 6-18 months later. It indicated that second-look laparoscopy adhesiolysis was beneficial in preventing adhesion recurrence.
