Adhesion grading scale

0:	No adhesions
1:	Minimal adhesions, mainly between the omentum and the anastomosis site
2:	Moderate adhesions, i.e., between the anastomosis site and the omentum or between the anastomosis site and a loop of the small bowel or the abdominal wall
3:	Severe and extensive adhesions, i.e., between the anastomotic site and several loops of the small bowel and the abdominal wall, including the abscess formation
