Pelvic adhesiolysis--the assessment of symptom relief by 100 patients.

This study reports the effectiveness of pelvic adhesiolysis in relieving symptoms in patients with gross pelvic adhesions. Based on 100 patients' responses to a questionnaire, adhesiolysis was found to be of value in treating infertility, chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia. Its value in relieving dysmenorrhoea was less certain while it did not influence menstrual pattern or premenstrual tension.
