Adhesiolysis is a surgical procedure used to remove adhesions (scar tissue) in the abdominal cavity, which can cause pain, bowel obstruction, or fertility problems. Adhesions often form after abdominal surgery, injury, or infection, and may restrict normal movement of the intestines.

During the procedure, the surgeon carefully separates the adhesions from surrounding organs, such as the intestines, bladder, or uterus. Adhesiolysis can be performed via open surgery or laparoscopically, depending on the extent of the adhesions.

Postoperative care includes pain management, preventing further adhesions, and monitoring for infection. Patients may need to follow a specific diet to reduce strain on the intestines and aid recovery.

Adhesiolysis is an effective treatment for patients with chronic pain or bowel obstructions due to adhesions, providing relief and improving quality of life by restoring normal organ function.
