Abstract
ABSTRACT
Carbon dioxide laser laparoscopy offers a safe, effective, and relatively easy means of performing intraabdominal adhesiolysis. Sixty-five patients suffering from chronic lower abdominal pain have undergone laser laparoscopic adhesiolysis during the past 6 years. Fifty-three patients (84%) experienced symptomatic relief. The controversial association between abdominal pain and intraabdominal adhesions can be resolved only by performing a controlled prospective laser laparoscopic adhesiolysis study.
