Table 1.
Grade 1 | Filmy adhesions: Easy to separate by blunt dissection (no vascularization) |
Grade 2 | Minimally adhesions: Blunt dissection possible but partly sharp dissection possible (beginning of vascularization) |
Grade 3 | Strong adhesions: Adhesions requiring sharp dissection (obvious vascularization) |
Grade 4 | Dense adhesions: Lysis possible by sharp dissection only (organ strongly attached with severe adhesions and damage of organs hardly preventable) |
