Cost of Adhesion Surgery in India

Abdominal adhesions are bands of fibrous tissue that can form between abdominal tissues and organs. Normally, internal tissues and organs have slippery surfaces, preventing them from sticking together as the body moves. Abdominal adhesions most commonly develop after surgery. Abdominal organs handled by the surgical team are shifted temporarily from their normal positions. In some people, this stimulates excessive formation of scar tissue. Adhesions can also form in people who develop peritonitis, an infection that has spread to the membrane that covers the abdominal organs. Another unusual cause is endometriosis. Tissue that normally lines only the uterus grows in other parts of the body, such as inside the abdomen.

• Abdominal pain.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Swelling of the abdomen.
• Inability to pass gas.
• Signs of dehydration.

What may cause:

• Cuts involving internal organs.
• Handling of internal organs.
• Drying out of internal organs and tissues.
• Contact of internal tissues with foreign materials, such as gauze, surgical gloves, and stitches.
• Blood or blood clots that were not rinsed away during surgery Abdominal adhesions can also result from inflammation not related to surgery.

• Pelvic exam.
• Blood tests.
• X-rays of your chest and abdomen. 
• CT scan of abdomen.

Complete small bowel obstructions that are caused by adhesions often requires surgery. In cases of partial bowel obstruction or complete bowel obstruction without severe symptoms, surgery may be delayed for 12 to 24 hours to allow a dehydrated patient to receive fluids intravenously (into a vein) and give the person a chance to avoid surgery. In this case, a small suction tube that extends through the nose and into the stomach can be used to prevent additional bloating and to relieve pain and nausea. When adhesions cause intestinal strangulation, immediate abdominal surgery is required to remove the adhesions so that blood flow to the bowel can be restored.
