A member asked:
What do abdominal adhesions have to do with the digestive system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adhesions are: Scars that can form in the abdomen form prior infection or surgery and these bands of scar tissue can cause kinks or blockages in the bowel preventing normal passage of intestinal contents. Most resolve with conservative treatment but those that don't require semi emergent surgery to fix the blockage.
