A member asked:
Can scar tissue grow and fill in where your uterus used to be and cause another surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adhesions: Any time you have abdominal surgery you risk forming adhesions, which are really just a kind of abdominal scar tissue. If you form adhesions that obstruct your bowel, etc. You may need another surgery to take down the adhesions. It is a common complication, but having to have another operation is not.
