About Adhesiolysis

Adhesiolysis is a specialized surgical procedure performed by general surgeons to cut or remove abnormal scar tissue, known as adhesions, within the abdominal or pelvic cavity. These bands of fibrous tissue can form after previous surgeries, infections, or inflammation, often leading to chronic pain, intestinal obstruction, or infertility. The procedure, which can be performed via open surgery or minimally invasive laparoscopy, aims to restore normal organ function and mobility by carefully separating adhered structures. It is a critical intervention for relieving symptoms caused by adhesive disease, improving a patient's quality of life, and preventing serious complications like bowel strangulation. Success depends on the surgeon's skill in meticulously dividing adhesions while minimizing the risk of their reformation.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
