Abstract
Adhesions in abdominal surgery, especially in operations in the lesser pelvis are an omnipresent problem, both in consideration of the access to the actual operation field as well as regarding to the scheduled surgical procedure itself. In hysterectomies they frequently represent a considerable obstacle which has to be mastered by the various operation techniques.
In most cases, if hysterectomy is done by an abdominal access, it is, nowadays, a question of minimal invasive techniques either of traditional laparoscopy or robot-assisted laparoscopy.
In the subsequent chapter methods of traditional laparoscopy and robot-assisted surgery in the matter of management of adhesion prevention and adhesion treatment will be compared respectively opposed to each other, with focussing to surgical interventions in the lesser pelvis and, here, especially in minimal invasive hysterectomy.
