Analysis 1 ‐ Oxidised regenerated cellulose vs no treatment at laparotomy

Incidence of adhesions ‐ re‐formation (or mixture) Incidence at second‐look laparoscopy · women having gynaecological surgery

Analysis 2 ‐ Oxidised regenerated cellulose may leads to lower incidence of adhesions ‐ re‐formation (or mixture) Incidence at… compared with no treatment at laparotomy (low certainty).
