"The rate of complications associated with adhesions following abdominal and pelvic surgery is high, according to a retrospective cohort study published in The Lancet (1999;353:1456-1457).

"The leader of the study, Dr. Harold Ellis, described the readmissions for adhesion-related complications as a .substantial burden" having "important consequences to patients, surgeons and the health system." Dr. Ellis is a professor in the Division of Anatomy, Cell and Human Biology at The Guy's, King's and St. Thomas' School of Biomedical Sciences, London."
