Abdominal adhesions are bands of scar-like tissue that form inside your abdomen. The bands form between two or more organs or between organs and the abdominal wall. Normally, the surfaces of organs and your abdominal wall do not stick together when you move.
ICD-10-CM Code for Peritoneal adhesions (postprocedural) (postinfection) K66. 0.
Female pelvic peritoneal adhesions (postinfective) The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM N73. 6 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Peritoneal adhesions are pathological bonds usually between omentum, loops of bowel and the abdominal wall. These bonds may be a thin film of connective tissue, a thick fibrous bridge containing blood vessels and nerve tissue, or a direct contact between two organ surfaces[4].

An adhesion is a band of scar tissue that joins two surfaces of the body that are usually separate. The formation of scar tissue is the body's repair mechanism in response to tissue disturbance caused by surgery, infection, injury (trauma) or radiation.
The diagnosis of abdominal adhesions is typically done with the assistance of laparoscopy. This procedure involves using a camera to visualize the organs within the abdominal cavity. Routine tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and blood work are useless in diagnosing the adhesion itself.
Lysis of adhesions is a procedure that destroys scar tissue that's causing abdominal and chronic pelvic pain. The scar tissue typically forms after surgery as part of the healing process, but can also develop after an infection or a condition that causes inflammation, such as endometriosis.
Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can cause internal organs to be stuck together when they are not supposed to be.
INTRODUCTION. Postoperative adhesions are a natural consequence of surgical tissue trauma and healing. Peritoneal adhesions may result in infertility, pain, or bowel obstruction and may increase the tech- nical difficulty of subsequent abdom- inal or pelvic surgery.
Adhesions commonly result from abdominal and pelvic surgical procedures and may result in intestinal obstruction, infertility, chronic pain, or complicate subsequent operations.
Abdominal scar tissue from injury and surgery is a common cause of low back and pelvic pain, sciatica, stiffness and dysfunction. Specialized manual therapy techniques called Visceral Function Manipulation can successfully treat scar tissue, restore movement and eliminate pain.
