What are abdominal adhesions? 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.
Adhesions form when tissue in the pelvic region sustains an injury. They form as part of the natural healing process. Adhesions are different than endometriosis implants, which grow and bleed in response to hormones in the same way as tissue from the uterine lining.
Most of the time, the terms adhesions and scar tissue are used interchangeably. They are the same thing. Scar tissue is the collection of cells and a protein called collagen at the injury site. Scar forms outside the body on your skin during the healing process of a wound after an injury, fall, or accident.
Pelvic adhesions (scar tissue) can cause the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries to get stuck together. Adhesions like this often prevent the reproductive organs from functioning normally, leading to pelvic pain and infertility.
Code 58660, Laparoscopy, surgical; with lysis of adhesions (salpingolysis, ovariolysis) (separate procedure), can be reported in addition to the primary procedure, only if dense/extensive adhesions are encountered that require effort beyond that ordinarily provided for the laparoscopic procedure.
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.
An exploratory laparotomy is a laparotomy performed with the objective of obtaining information that is not available via clinical diagnostic methods. It is usually performed in patients with acute or unexplained abdominal pain, abdominal trauma, and occasionally, for staging in patients with malignancies.
