Category Structured summary of systematic reviews
JournalDatabase of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE)
Year 2013
CRD SUMMARY: This generally well-conducted review concluded that the complications of postoperative adhesions were frequent, had a large negative effect on patients’ health, and increased the workload in clinical practice; but the quantitative effects should be interpreted with caution. This advised caution seems appropriate, given the methodological limitations of the available evidence.
