Common origins
Previous surgery, infections (PID, appendicitis), endometriosis, and inflammatory conditions. Adhesions can distort anatomy and cause pain, infertility, or bowel obstruction.
When adhesiolysis helps
Documented chronic pelvic pain with anatomical distortion, infertility with tubal adhesions, recurrent bowel obstruction, and severe dyspareunia. Adhesiolysis without clear indication often does not improve symptoms.
Realistic expectations
Symptom improvement in 60-80 percent of carefully selected patients. Recurrence of adhesions occurs in 30-50 percent. Anti-adhesive barriers may reduce recurrence rates. Realistic counselling is essential.
