Can you tell me about intestinal adhesions - serious ones - the form after multiple abdominal surgery?

Dr. Mark Pack answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Scar tissue: Scar tissue can form after any abdominal surgery. The more abdominal surgeries one has had and the more complex the surgery the more serious the adhesions. Adhesions can cause other problems such as Bowel obstructions, bloating, abdominal pain. Hope this helps.
