What do adhesions look like?

Adhesions are bands of fibrous scar tissue that can form between internal organs and tissues, appearing as thin, sticky strands or thicker, fibrous masses. They are often not visible on the surface but can be detected through imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT scans, or during surgical procedures. Adhesions may cause organs to stick together, leading to complications such as pain or obstruction. Their appearance can vary depending on the location and severity of the adhesion.
