Intra-abdominal Adhesions

Adhesions are fibrous bands that form between tissues and organs, often from surgical injury. They can be known to be internal scar tissue that usually binds unconnected tissues.

The most common cause of abdominal adhesions (or intra-abdominal adhesions) is abdominal surgical procedures. The adhesions begin to develop within hours of surgery and can cause internal organs to bind in the abdominal cavity to the surgical site or to other organs. Adhesive twisting and pulling of internal organs can lead to complications such as abdominal pain or bowel obstruction.

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a major consequence of postoperative adhesions. When an adhesion pulls or kinks the small intestine and prevents content from flowing through the digestive tract, an SBO may be cause.
