Adhesiolysis refers to the removal of adhesions. An adhesion is a band of scar tissue that has developed.  This could be for a number of reasons such as previous surgeries or infection. 

Although most adhesions are asymptomatic, some can cause bowel obstructions, infertility, and chronic pain.

Laparoscopic adhesiolysis is considered a safe and effective treatment, and like other minimally invasive techniques, it’s benefits include faster recovery times and less post-operative discomfort.
