Abdominal Adhesiolysis Causes, Procedure ,Types & Recovery Time
What is Abdominal Adhesiolysis • Adhesions are lumps of scar tissue that develop inside your body. Previous surgeries cause about ninety percent of abdominal adhesions. They could also develop from trauma, infections, or conditions that cause inflammation. • Adhesions could also develop on the organs and cause organs to stick together. Many people with adhesions do not experience any symptoms, but some people might have discomfort or digestive problems. • Abdominal adhesiolysis is a kind of surgery that removes these adhesions from your abdomen. • Adhesions do not show up on conventional imaging tests. Rather, doctors usually discover them during diagnostic surgery when investigating symptoms or treating another condition. If the doctor finds adhesions, adhesiolysis might be performed.
What causes adhesions? • Abdominal adhesions could form from any type of trauma to your abdomen. However, they are most commonly a side effect of abdominal surgery. • Adhesions caused by surgery are more likely to cause symptoms than other kinds of adhesions. If you do not feel symptoms, they generally do not need to be treated. • Infections or conditions that cause inflammation could also cause adhesions, like: • Crohn’s disease • Endometriosis • Pelvic inflammatory disease • Peritonitis • Diverticular disease
Procedure of Adhesiolysis Before the procedure, your doctor will likely perform a physical examination. They might also order a blood or urine test and request imaging to help rule out conditions with similar symptoms. • Before the surgery Prepare for your surgery by arranging a drive home from the hospital after your procedure. You will also likely be advised to avoid eating or drinking on the day of your surgery. You might also need to stop taking specific medications. • During the surgery You will be given general anesthesia so you do not feel any pain. Your surgeon will make a tiny incision in your abdomen and use a laparoscope to locate the adhesion. The laparoscope will project images onto a screen so your surgeon can find and cut out the adhesions. In total, the surgery will take between one and three hours.
Types of Adhesiolysis • Pelvic adhesiolysis • Hysteroscopicadhesiolysis • Epidural adhesiolysis • Peritoneal adhesiolysis • Adnexal adhesiolysis
