Adhesiolysis is a surgical procedure that helps remove the internal scar tissue commonly known as adhesions. It can develop after pelvic or abdominal surgery and may lead to chronic pain, infertility, restricted internal organ movement, or bowel obstruction. Patients may experience symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and persistent abdominal pain; hence, relieving the symptoms is important for normal movement of the affected organs.
Our specialized team of experts at ILS Hospitals includes gastrointestinal and general surgeons who work closely with the anesthesia and nursing teams to provide safe and comprehensive surgical care. They ensure the patient undergoes a detailed assessment for the most appropriate treatment plan.
Depending on the location, extent, and severity of the adhesions, the procedure may be performed using minimally invasive techniques or open surgery. During surgery, the surgeon identifies and divides the scar tissue to restore the position and movement of the affected organs while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues. All procedures and treatments are tailored to the patient’s symptoms, the abdominal surgery, and the complexity of the adhesions to ensure safe treatment.
Post-surgery, healthcare professionals encourage patients to walk regularly; however, they should avoid high-intensity exercise until advised by their surgeon and resume their diet. They are advised to attend follow-up appointments to monitor bowel function, wound healing, and overall recovery to ensure gradual normal digestion. If patients experience abdominal swelling, vomiting, fever, persistent abdominal pain, or difficulty passing stool or gas, these may require immediate medical evaluation and care.
