Brief Summary

Detecting Accuracy of transabdominal ultrasound in detecting intraperitoneal adhesions prior to laparoscopy ( which is the gold standard to visualize adhesions ) to detect safety of 1ry trocar insertion .

Conditions

Intraperitoneal Adhesions

Keywords

intraperitoneal adhesions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of Transabdominal sliding sign for detection of intraperitoneal adhesions

  Day 1 (from patient selection until the laparoscopic operation is done and presence and type of adhesions is revealed.)

Study Arms (1)

patients with previous abdominal surgery undergoing laparoscopic Surgery

Procedure: laparoscopy; Diagnostic Test: transabdominal ultrasound

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: female
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Women undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the department of gynecology \& obstetrics , Sohag University hospital with the following 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.

You may qualify if:

• 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.

You may not qualify if:

• 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.
