Ligation is an easily overlooked trigger for intestinal adhesions

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-30

Many patients know that abdominal surgery is the main cause of intestinal adhesions, but most of them mistakenly believe that the larger the wound after abdominal surgery, the more likely it is to develop intestinal adhesions. I didn't know there was such an abdominal operation, becauseThe wound is small and the location is relatively specialIt's easy to overlook – that isLigation surgery

Ligation refers to the use of certain means (such as the use of sheep gut) to tie certain channels of the human body or organism (such as blood vessels, vas deferens, fallopian tubes, etc.) to achieve the desired effect.

Ligation"It's often thought of as a minor surgery, but it's not to be underestimated as it's also one of the most common abdominal surgeries that cause intestinal adhesions. This so-called "minor surgery" will cause some small trauma or adhesion to our body at that time or after it, leaving the risk of intestinal adhesions. Therefore, what may seem like a trivial ligation may be the culprit of your intestinal adhesions.

Why does pelvic ligation cause intestinal adhesions?

In fact, there are several main reasons.

1. Most ligation surgeries are ligated with silk threads or steel clips, and there is a small probability that the thread and steel clips will fall off, and if they fall off, they need to be removed, but after they fall off, they may cause damage to the abdominal cavity, thus causing intestinal adhesions;

2. If the ligation is carried out by drug adhesion surgery, the adhesion drug may enter the abdominal cavity due to careless operation or drug fluidity during the operation, thereby causing intestinal adhesions;

3. There is also a small probability that the "laparotomy ligation surgery" is relatively rough, and it is possible that during the operation, due to the involvement and other operations, the abdominal injury will be inflammated and adhesions will occur.

I believe that with the above knowledge, everyone has a new understanding of ligation surgery, and it is no longer a minor operation that everyone said at the beginning. Therefore, if you have had a ligation experience and now have symptoms related to intestinal adhesions, you must beRaise awareness, timely medical examinationDo it as early as possible**。In addition, ligation surgery can also cause pelvic adhesions, so we must pay close attention to our physical condition, as all the pain is actually a warning from the body
