A member asked:
Can you get abdominal adhesions from a laparoscopic bilateral hernia repair?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Adhesions are simply intraabdominal scars and any type of surgery which enters the abdominal cavity can cause adhesions. Some laparoscopic repairs use a pre-peritoneal approach but most enter the abdomen. You can find out what approach your surgeon used by getting a copy of your operative report.

Yes: Yes you can, but one of the advantages of laparascopic surgery is decreased risk of significant adhesions. You can discuss the risks and benefits of laparoscopy with your surgeon.
