What Are Pelvic Adhesions?

Pelvic adhesions are fibrous bands that form between reproductive organs such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding structures like the bowel or bladder. They may develop after:

  • جراحة الحوض أو البطن (على سبيل المثال، العملية القيصرية، استئصال الورم العضلي)
  • Endometriosis
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  • Ruptured ovarian cysts
  • Appendicitis or bowel infections

While some adhesions cause no symptoms, others can lead to significant complications.


Symptoms of Pelvic Adhesions

Pelvic adhesions can present with a range of symptoms depending on their location and severity:

  • آلام مزمنة في الحوض أو أسفل البطن
  • Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Pain during bowel movements or urination
  • Infertility due to tubal blockage or distorted anatomy
  • Digestive issues like bloating or constipation


When is Adhesion Removal Recommended?

Pelvic adhesion removal (adhesiolysis) may be recommended if you:

  • Have persistent or worsening pelvic pain
  • Are unable to conceive and imaging suggests adhesions
  • Have history of endometriosis, PID, or multiple pelvic surgeries
  • Experience painful intercourse or organ dysfunction due to scarring

In Korea, diagnosis typically involves pelvic ultrasound, MRI, or diagnostic laparoscopy, depending on symptoms and fertility goals.


How is Pelvic Adhesion Removal Performed in Korea?

Most Korean clinics use minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to remove adhesions with precision and minimal trauma. For deep or complex adhesions, robotic-assisted laparoscopy (Da Vinci system) may be used.

Procedure overview:

  • Performed under general anesthesia
  • 2-4 شقوق صغيرة في أسفل البطن
  • A laparoscope and surgical tools are inserted
  • يتم تشريح الالتصاقات بعناية وإزالتها من الأعضاء
  • Normal anatomical positioning is restored
  • Procedure duration: 1–3 hours depending on complexity
  • Hospital stay: Usually 1–2 nights

Korean surgeons often use adhesion barrier gels or films during surgery to help prevent future adhesion formation.


Recovery After Adhesiolysis

Recovery is generally quick with laparoscopic techniques.

You may experience:

  • Mild abdominal pain or cramping
  • Shoulder pain from gas used during laparoscopy
  • Light spotting or bloating for a few days
  • Return to work within 5–7 days
  • Full recovery in 2–3 weeks

Top FAQs About Pelvic Adhesion Removal

Will adhesions come back after surgery?
Recurrence is possible, especially if endometriosis or repeat surgeries are involved. Barrier methods and anti-inflammatory protocols help reduce this risk.

هل يمكن أن يُحسّن هذا الخصوبة؟ نعم. يُمكن أن يُحسّن فك الالتصاقات بشكل ملحوظ معدلات الحمل الطبيعي من خلال استعادة الوظيفة الطبيعية لقناتي فالوب والمبيضين.

Is the surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia. Most patients report only mild discomfort after surgery, manageable with pain medication.

How is this different from endometriosis surgery?
Endometriosis excision removes diseased tissue. Adhesiolysis specifically targets scar tissue bands, though both may be done together if needed.


How to Prepare for Surgery in Korea

  • Schedule imaging (e.g., ultrasound, MRI) before your consultation
  • Prepare a list of symptoms and previous surgeries
  • Arrange help for a few days post-op
  • Follow fasting and pre-op instructions from your doctor
  • Discuss fertility and symptom management goals clearly
