Modified Hopkins Adhesion Score, adapted from Dubcenco et al. [35]

Score	Frequency	Size/width	Density	Dissection
0	0	No adhesions (cm)	No adhesions	No adhesions
1	1	<1	Single thin, filmy adhesion	Minimal blunt dissection, tears easily
2	2–3	1–2	Multiple thin, filmy adhesions	Blunt dissection only
3	3–4	2–3	Dense adhesion(s) with or without filmy adhesions	Sharp dissection or electrocautery, no organ/serosal damage
4	4+	3+	Matted adhesion(s) with or without filmy adhesions	Sharp dissection or electrocautery, with unavoidable organ/serosal damage
