Intraperitoneal Adhesion
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Intraperitoneal adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form inside the abdomen and can join together organs or structures that are normally separate.
Common causes: They frequently appear after abdominal or pelvic surgeries, as well as from infections or inflammatory processes within the abdomen.
Possible manifestations: In many cases they cause no discomfort, but at times they are associated with abdominal pain, distension, or digestive disturbances; in specific situations they can interfere with intestinal transit.
Which specialist treats them? The general surgeon and the gastroenterologist are the professionals who usually evaluate intraperitoneal adhesions. If you have persistent abdominal pain, especially after a previous surgery, it is worth consulting for a proper evaluation.
