I would say no. Adhesions I've seen that early tend to be easily lysed and still quite soft, not dense.

This post is going to require responses from some of the more experienced gynecologists. I'm doing some research into dense adhesion formation, specifically how long they take to form. Basically I need to determine if dense adhesions can form in less then 3-4 days post-op. I was wondering, from those of you have had to take back patients for repeat surgery, say secondary to bowel obstruction, have you notice significant, dense adhesions so soon post-op?
