However, even an experienced surgeon despite using advanced techniques may not be able to fully prevent the formation of adhesions following surgery, without the aid of an adhesion barrier. Consequently, many surgeons apply adhesion barriers while performing abdominal and pelvic surgery.
Steps may be taken during surgery to help prevent adhesions such as handling tissues and organs gently, using starch-free and latex-free gloves, not allowing tissues to dry out, and shortening surgery time. [12] An unfortunate fact is, that adhesions are unavoidable in surgery and the main treatment for adhesions is more surgery.

Despite these proactive measures, adhesion formation is a recognized complication of any abdominal or pelvic surgery. To prevent adhesions from forming after caesarean section, adhesion barrier can be placed during surgery to minimize the risk of adhesions between the uterus and ovaries, the small bowel, and almost any tissue in the abdomen or ...
Intra-abdominal adhesion formation is a risk associated with both laparoscopic and open surgery and remains a significant, unresolved problem. [33] Adhesions are fibrous deposits that connect tissue to organ post surgery. Generally, they occur in 50-100% of all abdominal surgeries, [33] with the risk of developing adhesions the same for both ...
Frozen pelvis is difficult to manage if abdominal surgery is needed, because the anatomical landmarks, which surgeons use to locate and avoid delicate structures and nearby organs, are distorted or hidden behind adhesions. [8] The surgeon may be unable to complete the surgery safely.
