Study summary

Laparoscopic adhesiolysis has been used in treatment of chronic abdominal pain. There has been only one previous controlled study, that stated laparoscopy alone had the same benefits than laparoscopic adhesiolysis. The aim of this study is to compare laparoscopic adhesiolysis with a placebo-procedure in chronic abdominal pain.
