In general, intestinal adhesions are most likely to occur six months to one year after abdominal surgery.
Intestinal adhesions are a common postoperative complication of abdominal and pelvic surgery. Generally, six months to one year after abdominal surgery, intestinal adhesions are likely to occur due to inflammatory factors, infectious factors and injury factors. Therefore, prevention of intestinal adhesions is one of the important tasks of abdominal surgery, and the damage to the soft tissues of the abdominal cavity should be minimized intraoperatively and the patient should get out of bed as early as possible after surgery.
In conclusion, in case of intestinal adhesions, conservative treatment can be used in mild cases, and patients who lead to intestinal obstruction may have to undergo intestinal adhesion release.
