2. 6. Experimental studies on the role of the gastrointestinal microflora in postsurgical adhesion formation

   Author : Claes Bothin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adhesions; adhesion formation; germfree; microflora;

   Abstract : Introduction: Adhesions occurring after any kind of surgery is a common phenomenon and cause a great deal of morbidity and mortality, incurring a considerable burden on health care systems. Adhesions are especially prominent after lower abdominal and gynecological procedures (60-90 % of patients after one operation) causing infertility, pain syndromes and bowel obstruction as well as complicating subsequent surgery.

4. 7. Retograde migration of starch particles in the female genital tract

   Author : Anette Sjösten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Gloves; glove-powder; starch particles; post-operative adhesions; vaginal examination; endometriosis; cell-culture; SCID-mice.;

   Abstract : Tubal and pelvic adhesions are a major cause of female infertility in humans. The majority of postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions result from the presence of ischaemic tissue within the abdominal cavity. These precipitate an inflammatory vascular response from neighbouring healthy tissue. READ MORE

5. 8. Strategies for postoperative adhesion control

   Author : Kristina Falk; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adhesion formation; adhesion prevention; experimental model; mouse; human; fibrinolysis; bioadhesion; cellulose; hydrophobic modification; t-PA; PAI-1; proCPU; TAFI;

   Abstract : Introduction: Abdominal surgery almost inevitably leads to adhesion formation, which often results in substantial morbidity. The formation of postsurgical adhesions seems to be determined by the balance of fibrin deposition and degradation in an early phase of peritoneal tissue repair. READ MORE

6. 9. Outcome and prevention strategies in peritoneal adhesion formation

   Author : Fanny Fredriksson; Helene Lilja; Bobby Tingstedt; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; peritoneal adhesion prevention; inflammatory cytokines; experimental adhesion model; adhesive small bowel obstruction; adhesion-related morbidity; Barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

   Abstract : Peritoneal adhesions occur in up to 93% of adults after peritoneal trauma during surgery. Most adhesions are asymptomatic but can cause female infertility, small bowel obstruction (SBO) and chronic abdominal pain. Adhesion prophylaxis is needed to reduce the significant morbidity and increased health care costs resulting from peritoneal adhesions. READ MORE

7. 10. Caesarean Section : Short- and long-term maternal complications

   Author : Susanne Hesselman; Maria Jonsson; Ulf Högberg; Eva-Britta Råssjö; Jens Langhoff-Roos; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adhesion; caesarean section; extremely preterm birth; gynaecologic surgery; organ injury; uterine rupture; trial of labour; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : Caesarean section is a common major surgical procedure and long-term complications have not been fully investigated. By longitudinal population based register studies, based on National health registers and medical data records, maternal complications after caesarean delivery at subsequent labour (N=7 683), among extremely preterm births (N=406), and at remote gynaecologic surgery (N=25 354) were explored.
