Extensive pelvic adhesions — often the sequela of prior surgeries, infection, or undertreated endometriosis — distort tubo-ovarian relationships and impair fertility through mechanical obstruction and altered pelvic microenvironment. PEARS adhesiolysis principles emphasize meticulous sharp dissection, copious irrigation, and anti-adhesion adjuncts to restore normal anatomy and optimize postoperative fertility outcomes.
