Introduction
Intestinal adhesiolysis is a surgical procedure performed to remove abdominal or intestinal adhesions—bands of scar tissue that form between organs after surgery, infection, inflammation, or trauma.
These adhesions can cause chronic abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and recurrent digestive symptoms that significantly affect quality of life.
When conservative treatment fails or complications arise, adhesiolysis is necessary to restore normal bowel movement and prevent life-threatening obstruction.
