Chapter 11 / Abdomen (excluding urinary and reproductive organs)

Many pathological processes eg cholecystitis result in the formation of adhesions. Adhesiolysis is

major problems due to adhesions are encountered, we request that a note of explanation is provided and
we will give consideration as to whether we will pay additional benefit.
