Score

Observation

0

No adhesions

1

Adhesions that are filmy and easy to separate by blunt dissection

2

Adhesions where blunt dissection is possible but sharp dissection necessary, beginning vascularization

3

4

Lysis of adhesions possible by sharp dissection only, organs strongly attached with severe adhesions, damage of organs hardly preventable
