Adhesiolysis Get back on your feet quickly with our laparoscopy experience
What is Adhesiolysis?
It’s the removal of adhesions, usually by laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery).
What is an Adhesion?
An adhesion is a band of scar-like tissue that occurs when the body tries to heal itself after an invasive surgery. This tissue can prevent internal organs from moving around, causing them to become twisted or pulled from their normal positions.
Symptoms
After open pelvic surgery, woman may begin to develop symptoms which may cause the need for surgery:
- Intestinal obstruction
- Infertility
- Chronic pain
Causes
Adhesions are caused by open surgery. Studies show that up to 100% of women who have open pelvic surgery develop adhesions.
