- The LASSO randomized clinical trial compared laparoscopic vs open adhesiolysis for small bowel obstruction (SBO).
- No significant difference in SBO recurrence rates between laparoscopic and open surgery groups at 1-year and 5-year follow-ups.
- Incisional hernia rates were similar in both groups (6.1% open vs 6.3% laparoscopic).
- Quality of life (QOL) outcomes, measured by SF-36 and GIQLI, showed no significant differences between the two surgical approaches.
- The laparoscopic approach did not demonstrate long-term superiority over open surgery for adhesive SBO.
