Any type of injury, inflammation or noninfectious condition can cause an adhesion. Among noninfectious conditions that cause adhesions, endometriosis is the most common. a six-month preoperative regimen of Danocrine (danazol) resulted in a reduction in pelvic vascularity and inflammation, theoretically reducing the risk of postoperative adhesions. The preoperative use of danazol also makes laparoscopic surgery possible for more patients.
