Lysis of Adhesions

Relieve pain and improve mobility with lysis of adhesions

Lysis of adhesions is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of scar tissue or adhesions that have formed in the body. Adhesions can occur as a result of previous surgeries, infections, or inflammation, and can cause pain or discomfort by restricting movement or compressing organs.

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making small incisions in the affected area. The surgeon will then use specialized instruments to carefully break up and remove the scar tissue. In some cases, additional procedures may be necessary to repair any damage caused by the adhesions.

Recovery time can vary depending on the extent of the adhesions and the location of the procedure, but patients may experience some discomfort and limited mobility for several weeks following the surgery. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help restore range of motion and prevent further adhesions from forming. Overall, lysis of adhesions can be an effective way to relieve pain and improve quality of life for patients with scar tissue-related issues.
