Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 - The bowel obstruction was caused by adhesions. After any type of surgery, there is scar tissue (adhesions) that forms. They grow kinda like roots throughout the abdominal cavity. In very rare instances, they grow and end up creating blockages. Mine had grown around the ailmentary limb and caused a kink in the bowel. It happens VERY rarely.
