Surgical Consortium on Adhesions Research Advisory Group—Publications

The Surgical Consortium on Adhesions Research (SCAR) Advisory Group is dedicated to advancing the understanding, prevention, and management of surgical adhesions to improve patient outcomes and strengthen healthcare systems worldwide. Guided by Clifford Y. Ko, MD, MS, MSHS, FACS, FASCRS, and the ACS Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care, the group brings together surgeons, researchers, bioengineers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to address the clinical, quality-of-life, and economic impact of adhesions. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, innovative research, and evidence-based advocacy, the SCAR Advisory Group works to drive meaningful improvements in adhesion care. Below is a list of publications produced by this group.
