Zuhlke’s adhesion classification system

Grade	Status of Adhesions
0	No adhesions
1	Filmy adhesions and easily separated by blunt dissection
2	Blunt dissection is possible but sharp dissection is necessary, beginning of vascularization
3	Lysis is possible by only sharp dissection, clear vascularization
4	Lysis is possible by only sharp dissection, organs are strongly attached
