Adhesions are abnormal attachments between tissues and organs that commonly form after abdominal or pelvic surgery as part of the body's healing process. The formation of adhesions involves an inflammatory response to injury where fibrin deposits form bridges between tissues that can develop into fibrous bands unless dissolved. Adhesions cause significant complications like small bowel obstruction, chronic pain, infertility and increase the difficulty of future surgeries. They represent a large economic burden on healthcare systems costing an estimated $1-2 billion per year to treat adhesion-related complications. Efforts to prevent adhesions have focused on reducing inflammation, separating tissues and removing fibrin deposits but with limited success.
