A member asked:
My sister has had 5 surgeries, the first for crohn's disease, the last 4 for adhesions. who does a surgical technique to fix?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SORRY: There's no "fix" to adhesive disease after surgery. Adhesions are a normal development after a surgical procedure, and can cause obstruction of the GI tract. It's uncommon, but not heard of, to have recalcitrant problems. She needs to eat well, keep hydrated, and follow closely with her medical team. Good luck.
