A surgeon’s take:
Adhesions are the body’s expression of excessive healing. After a surgery in the belly, or practically anywhere else, such as the chest or a joint, the body heals the damage from the disease and the surgeon. In addition to closing holes from needles and incisions from scalpels, the body starts to form bridges between tissues that are not normally connected. The body just gets into the habit of healing, and cannot stop when the job is done.
