Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialChance of adhesion formation after laparoscopic salpingo-ovariolysis: is there a place for second-look laparoscopy?
To evaluate the chance of adhesion formation after laparoscopic salpingo-ovariolysis and determine the efficacy of early second-look laparoscopy (SLL). ⋯ The chance of moderate and severe adhesion reformation after laparoscopic salpingo-ovariolysis was 40.2%. Although separation of these adhesions could be performed more easily at the time of early SLL, the chance of pregnancy did not increase compared with that in patients who did not undergo SLL.
