Adhesion‐Related Complications Are Common, But Rarely Discussed in Preoperative Consent: A Multicenter Study

Abstract: Preoperative informed consent does not adequately reflect the magnitude of adhesion-related problems. These findings have immediate implications for clinical practice.

“…Yet preoperative discussion often does not include the possible late complications resulting from adhesions. 34 The risk of intestinal obstruction should be discussed with patients and families during consent for radiotherapy and surgery, as well as throughout treatment. Furthermore, survivors of childhood cancer should be followed regularly to reinforce the signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction.…”

“…Postoperative intraperitoneal adhesions still represent a clinical burden [1,2] causing relevant postoperative complications [3] including chronic pain [4][5][6], bowel obstruction [7,8], infertility [9,10], increased rates of reoperation [11], extended operation time [12] and increased operation risk of subsequent interventions [13,14] as well as substantial costs affecting the healthcare system [15,16]. Serosal wound healing is a complex process which includes inflammation [17], fibrin exudation [18] and remesothelialization [19], the latter being apparently disturbed when adhesion formation occurs.…”

“…The incidence of postsurgical peritoneal adhesions increased over the past decades [1][2][3][4]. Peritoneal adhesions cause significant morbidity, including intestinal obstruction, infertility, and chronic abdominopelvic pain and are associated with multiple surgical complications [5][6][7][8][9].…”
