This is quite an old article, July 9th 2001, you can read it on the UKAS website message board under important news. Hope this is of help.

I found this article while searching with google. It is in some ways
specific to the British legal system and NIH, but it also has a bunch of
statistics about adhesions. The url's are very long and probably will
get mangled by the IAS software :-(, but I'll give it a try. If all
else fails, go to http://www.google.com and type Intra-abdominal
Adhesions and their Medico-legal Consequesnces into the search engine.
It's the article by Harold Ellis CBE, FRCS, Emeritus Professor of
Surgery, UMDS, London
This is a link to the pdf version, which if you have adobe acrobat
installed may be your best bet (as the url is shorter!)

That should all be one line with no spaces, and if push comes to shove
you ought to be able to cut and paste it into your browser. The next
url is the html document created by google:
