Intra-abdominal adhesions: a prospective Observational study of the incidence, peritoneal Adhesion index (pai) based distribution & Severity in a tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Background Abdominal surgeries may result in random and unpredictable adhesion formation. Diagnostic laparoscopy can help clarify the cause-and-effect relationship between intra-abdominal adhesion, pain abdomen, and other predisposing factors. Aims & Objectives The study's objectives are to investigate the incidence of abdominal adhesions and grade them using the Peritoneal adhesion index (PAI). Furthermore, to identify risk factors for their formation and symptoms associated with their presence and any resolution of symptoms post adhesiolysis.
