Laparoscopic adhesiolysis for chronic abdominal pain is not indicated

Laparoscopic adhesiolysis is technically feasible, and is characterised by 5% morbidity and 1% mortality. Although pain relief is reported in all studies, laparoscopic adhesiolysis had never proved evidence-based. The latest results indicate that laparoscopic adhesiolysis should not be used as a treatment in patients with chronic abdominal pain.
