Depends: If a patient has had surgery, they will most generally form adhesions. This is very true for women who've had cesarean delivery. If the goal is pain reduction, it may be worth have laparoscopy, but if just curious, may not be worth the risk involved having surgery.

Only, if painful: Adhesions form from surgery whereby intra-abdominal structures "stick to each other" like a crackerjack box with moisture in it. Unless, there is severe pain or movement is restricted, then undergoing another surgical procedure "to check for adhesions" can sometimes only cause more adhesions.
