Adhesions After Open Versus Laparoscopic Resection of Colorectal Malignancies Detected During Liver Resection
Inclusion Criteria:
- laparotomy or laparoscopy for intended liver resection or radio frequency ablation
for colorectal metastases
- laparoscopy or laparotomy for colorectal malignancy in history
- age ≥18 years
Exclusion Criteria:
- a history of abdominal surgery with a high risk of adhesions either before resection
of the primary tumour or during the interval between resection of the primary tumour
and liver resection. These high risk surgeries are:
- Colorectal surgery
- Ovarian surgery
- Abdominal wall surgery
- mental incompetence
