Improved Preoperative Prediction of Abdominal Adhesion Severity

Novel abdominal ultrasound technique accurately predicts moderate-to-high adhesion severity between the abdominal wall and intestinal tract. The method involves measuring displacement of motion vectors in both animals and clinical trial participants. Results show significantly higher motion difference ratios in groups with adhesions compared to those without. High diagnostic value is indicated for preoperative identification of severe adhesions, enhancing surgical safety.
