Can ultrasound before surgery predict abdominal adhesions before laparoscopy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study compares preoperative transabdominal ultrasound findings with the intraoperative visualization of intraperitoneal adhesions, which is the reference standard during laparoscopy. It aims to see if ultrasound can safely guide the first trocar placement. Eligible participants include women with prior abdominal surgeries who are planned for elective laparoscopy, excluding emergencies, pregnancy, morbid obesity, and certain severe health conditions. No independent interventions are being tested beyond standard imaging and surgical procedures. The study is led by Sohag University at Sohag Faculty and involves only this site.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Women scheduled for elective laparoscopy.
* Women with history of previous laparotomies.
* Women with previous transverse suprapubic and/or any midline incision.
* Women with previous caesarean section.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Women with Emergency laparoscopic surgeries (e.g., acute abdomen).
* Pregnancy at time of operation.
* Morbid obesity (BMI \> 40kg/m²), as excessive adipose tissue may limit ultrasound imaging.
* Severe medical conditions affecting participation (e.g., severe cardiac or pulmonary disease.
