Table 1.

Zühlke adhesion score

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)
