Adhesions: the early history.

Intra-abdominal adhesions following tuberculous and other peritoneal inflammatory diseases were well recognized by early pathologists, but it was not until the advent of abdominal surgery in the late 19th century that postoperative adhesions, and thus the complication of small bowel obstruction, became common. The first recorded operation for this condition is described.

Medicolegal consequences of adhesions.

Postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions are an almost invariable consequence of abdominal and pelvic surgery. Most patients are unaware of their presence, but they may result in morbidity such as acute intestinal obstruction, female infertility and dyspareunia. Claims made against surgeons and gynaecologists in the UK are reviewed, and lessons are highlighted.
