Can you prevent abdominal adhesions?

A surgeon cannot avoid creating abdominal adhesions. However, adhesions are usually less common with laparoscopic surgery because of the smaller cuts. During a laparoscopic procedure, your surgeon inserts a tiny camera and instruments through small incisions.

Open surgery requires larger incisions, which can cause more adhesions. Again, the good news is that most of these adhesions don’t cause any problems
