Pelvic Adhesions
Pelvic adhesions are a form of abdominal adhesions in the pelvis, typically in women affecting reproductive organs and thus of concern in reproduction or as a cause of chronic pelvic pain. Other than surgery, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease are typical causes.
Surgery inside the uterine cavity (e.g., suction D&C, myomectomy, endometrial ablation) can result in Asherman's Syndrome (also known as intrauterine adhesions), a cause of infertility.
A meta-analysis in 2012 came to the conclusion that there is only little evidence for the surgical principle that using less invasive techniques, introducing less foreign bodies or causing less ischemia reduces the extent and severity of adhesions in pelvic surgery.
