As you probably know adhesions are scar tissue and lesions are abnormal
cells. When you have any kind of surgery (or any time you are cut open
somehow) new scar tissue will form. There are procedures your doctor
can do while in surgery to minimize these adhesions but regardless of
what they do there will always be some. Hope this helps, Take care,
