Definition of Visceral slide
Visceral slide is a technique while using ultrasound, that if bowel moves less than 2 cm then there is probably adhesion in the bowel. Complete absence of visceral slide is correlated with high chance of adhesions.
Adhesions are common for after laparoscopic examinations and laparoscopic surgery of the bowel. Other causes are peritonitis (inflammation of peritoneal cavity).
