Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis Surgery in Gurdaspur by Expert Surgeon

👉 What are Abdominal Adhesions?

Abdominal adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form between internal organs or between the intestine and abdominal wall. They commonly develop after previous abdominal surgery, infection, inflammation, or trauma.
These adhesions may cause organs or bowel loops to stick together, leading to pain, bloating, infertility, or even intestinal obstruction.

👉 What is Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis Surgery?

Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis is a minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery used to carefully release or cut these scar tissue bands using a camera (laparoscope) and fine instruments through small cuts in the abdomen.
This helps restore normal movement of the bowel and other organs while reducing symptoms. Minimally invasive surgery is generally associated with less pain, shorter hospital stay, and lower morbidity.

👉 Who Needs Adhesiolysis Surgery?

This surgery may be advised if you have:

• Recurrent abdominal pain after previous surgery
• Repeated intestinal obstruction episodes
• Bloating, vomiting, or inability to pass stool/gas
• Adhesion-related infertility (selected cases)
• Difficulty during planned repeat abdominal surgery

Surgery is usually recommended when symptoms are severe or when bowel obstruction does not improve with conservative treatment.

🌟 Advantages of Laparoscopic Adhesiolysis

• Small cuts and minimal scars
• Less pain compared to open surgery
• Faster recovery
• Short hospital stay
• Better visualization of adhesions
• Reduced risk of new adhesions compared to open surgery

👉 How the Surgery is Performed?

• Patient is given general anesthesia
• 2–3 small cuts are made in the abdomen
• Laparoscope (camera) is inserted
• Adhesions are identified carefully
• Scar tissue bands are released using fine instruments
• Bowel movement and organ mobility are restored
• Incisions are closed with minimal stitches
• The surgery usually takes 1–3 hours, depending on the severity and extent of adhesions.

👉 Recovery & Aftercare?

• Most patients stay in hospital for 1–2 days
• Light activities can usually start in 3–5 days
• Full recovery may take 2–4 weeks
• Early walking helps bowel recovery and reduces complications

Recovery depends on the extent of adhesions and whether bowel obstruction was present before surgery.

👉 Are There Any Risks?

Laparoscopic adhesiolysis is effective, but like any abdominal surgery it has some risks:

• Injury to bowel or nearby organs
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Recurrence of adhesions
• Temporary ileus (slow bowel movement)

These risks are minimized with careful patient selection and experienced laparoscopic technique.
