Know of no studies that show early ambulation will reduce adhesion formation.A certain subset of patients seems very prone to develop adhesions and these will often recur after repeated surguries.Many interseting debates now ongoing on Obgynet regarding this problem.Walking and early ambulation after major pelvic surgery has been shown to decrease blood clots and the dreaded lung embolus.
