A member asked:

How often do people form abdominal adhesions from laparoscopic gall bladder surgery? does scar tissue cause symtoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Arnold Lentnek answered

Uncommon. But as years go by, can become slightly more common. Overall sufficiently rare that there is no reason to worry about it
