Impact on Quality of Life of Osteopathic Visceral Mobilizations After Endometriosis Surgery

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Endometriosis, Osteopathy in Diseases Classified Elsewhere

In brief

One of the most common post-operative complications of gynaecological surgery, and in particular endometriosis surgery, is the formation of peritoneal adhesions. After laparotomy, it affects up to 90% of patients. Minimally invasive techniques (such as laparoscopy) reduce the risk of adhesion formation, but cannot totally prevent it. Adhesions can lead to chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, digestive disorders and infertility. Various strategies and devices have been developed to try and limit adhesion formation, but their effectiveness has not been fully proven in the literature. The only real treatment for adhesions is adhesiolysis, although adhesions often reform. The quality of surgery remains the best means of preventing adhesion formation. To reduce the morbidity associated with pelvic adhesions, it is essential to develop alternative, non-invasive, anti-adhesive methods such as manual osteopathic visceral mobilization.
