 An unfortunate fact is, that adhesions are unavoidable in surgery and the main treatment for adhesions is more surgery.Besides intestinal obstructions caused by adhesions that may be seen in an X-ray, there are no diagnostic tests available to accurately diagnose an adhesion.A study showed that more than 90% of people develop adhesions following open abdominal surgery and that 55–100% of women develop adhesions following pelvic surgery.
