Abstract
Postoperative pelvic adhesions are a leading cause of secondary infertility, chronic pain, and bowel obstruction following gynecologic surgery, making adhesion prevention a primary surgical quality metric in NaProTECHNOLOGY. PEARS technique integrates continuous peritoneal irrigation, meticulous tissue handling, avoidance of foreign-body contamination, and selective use of barrier agents to minimize the fibrinous cascade that initiates adhesion formation.
