Postoperative adhesions are a major cause of morbidity, accounting for approximately 5% of the readmissions of surgical patients. Bowel obstruction is attributed to adhesions in more than half of the cases, many of which are following colon and rectal surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has the potential advantage of reduced adhesion formation owing to attenuated surgical trauma, less tissue handling, and smaller scars. However, the translation of these advantages to a reduced rate of bowel obstruction has not been sufficiently demonstrated. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of adhesion-related bowel obstruction after laparoscopic colon and rectal surgery.
