Conditions
Brief summary
Ultrasound visceral slide test for prediction of periumbilical adhesions before gynecologic laparoscopic surgery: a prospective cohort study. The investigators are planning to conduct a prospective study to evaluate if there is an effect of abdominal wall thickness and body mass index on slide distance of visceral organ during ultrasound examination.
Interventions
Performing preoperative abdominal ultrasound examination in patients that will be scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery for any gynecologic indication
