# Band Adhesions in Relation to Previous Abdominal Surgery

**Official Title:** Band Adhesions in Relation to Previous Abdominal Surgery - a Retrospective Analysis of Risk Factors

**NCT ID:** [NCT03663023](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT03663023)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** COMPLETED
- **Study Type:** OBSERVATIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 196
- **Lead Sponsor:** Göteborg University
- **Conditions:** Surgical Adhesions, Intestinal Obstruction, Surgery Induced Tissue Adhesions
- **Start Date:** 2006-01-01
- **Completion Date:** 2011-10-31
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2023-02-24

## Brief Summary

This study investigates the prevalence of previous abdominal surgery in a cohort of patients operated for bowel obstruction and analyzes the causes of obstruction discovered at surgery.

## Detailed Description

Postoperative intra-abdominal adhesions are a common cause of small bowel obstruction. The extent of adhesions has been assigned to the magnitude of previous surgery. In a county hospital, with a catchment population of 120 000 inhabitants, records of operations performed for bowel obstruction over a period of 70 months were retrieved. Codes for bowel obstruction according to an International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) will include: Intestinal adhesion with obstruction, Other and unspecified intestinal obstruction, Intestinal obstruction and Peritoneal adhesions. Amount of adhesions will be calculated in relation to previous surgery.

## Eligibility

- **Sex:** ALL
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects operated for bowel obstruction -from January 1st 2006 to October 31st 2011

Surgical codes for bowel obstruction:

* Intestinal adhesion with obstruction
* Other and unspecified intestinal obstruction
* Intestinal obstruction
* Unspecified and Peritoneal adhesions

Surgical procedures identified for bowel obstruction:

* Division of band adhesion
* Adhesiolysis
* Other separation of adhesion during bowel obstruction
* Laparotomy and reposition or detorsion of intestine.

Exclusion Criterias:

-Extra-peritoneal surgery such as inguinal or ventral hernia repair was excluded.
```

## Interventions

- **Intestinal obstruction** (PROCEDURE)

## Primary Outcomes

- **Cause of bowel obstruction** _(time frame: 70 months)_ — Bowel obstruction; caused by adhesions, malignant disease, inflammation or other causes
