Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis is a minimally invasive surgery used to remove or break up adhesions (scar tissue) that form in the abdominal cavity, often as a result of previous surgeries, infections, or injury. Adhesions can cause chronic pain, bowel obstructions, and fertility issues.
The surgery involves inserting a small camera (laparoscope) and surgical instruments into the abdomen through small incisions, allowing the surgeon to cut or remove the adhesions. Laparoscopic techniques reduce the size of incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain and a faster recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.
Postoperative care includes pain management, monitoring for signs of infection, and ensuring that the digestive system is functioning properly after the adhesions are removed. Most patients experience relief from symptoms and return to normal activities within a few weeks.
Laparoscopic adhesiolysis offers significant benefits for patients suffering from the effects of abdominal adhesions, improving quality of life by alleviating pain and reducing the risk of future bowel obstructions.
