What are Adhesions?
Adhesions are fibrous bands that connect tissue surfaces that are normally separated. Adhesion formation is a natural consequence of surgery as the body begins to heal, but it can cause significant complications for the patient. For example, following an abdominal surgery, adhesions may form between an incision in the abdominal wall and the small bowel, causing an obstruction in the small bowel. This type of adhesion often leads to additional surgical procedures to remove the obstruction.
Adhesions develop in 93% of patients following abdominal and pelvic surgery. Abdominal and pelvic surgery include procedures such as hernia repair, gynecological surgeries, colorectal surgeries, and many others.
