Laparoscopic intestinal adhesions

Intestinal adhesions are fibrous tissues that form between parts of the intestine or between the intestine and other abdominal organs, which can cause recurrent intestinal obstruction, chronic pain, and digestive disorders. Adhesions often occur after abdominal surgery, intestinal infections, or abdominal injuries.

🔹 How is laparoscopic adhesions removed?
✔️ A laparoscope is inserted through small incisions in the abdomen.
✔️ The adhesions are located and the trapped tissue is separated using fine surgical instruments.
✔️ Modern techniques such as lasers or ultrasound are used to reduce bleeding and protect healthy tissue.
✔️ In some cases, the intestines are reconnected if there is severe damage or complete obstruction.

🔹 Advantages of laparoscopic surgery:
✔️ Less post-operative pain compared to open surgery.
✔️ Reduced risk of new adhesions due to modern techniques.
✔️ Faster recovery and quicker return to normal life.
✔️ Smaller scars compared to traditional surgery, improving the cosmetic outcome.

🔹 Possible Risks:
⚠️ Possibility of new adhesions after surgery (but less than with open surgery).
⚠️ Rare risk of intestinal injury during adhesiolysis.
⚠️ Possibility of bleeding or infection after surgery.

💡 Laparoscopic adhesiolysis is an effective and safe solution for treating chronic intestinal problems caused by adhesions, with reduced complications and faster recovery.
