What are the most common type of adhesions?

The most common types of adhesions include:

- Intra-abdominal adhesions: These are adhesions that form between the organs and tissues within the abdomen. They can occur after surgery, trauma, or infection.

- Pelvic adhesions: These are adhesions that form between the organs and tissues in the pelvis. They are most common in women who have had pelvic surgery, such as a hysterectomy or cesarean section.

- Pericardial adhesions: These are adhesions that form between the heart and the pericardium, the sac that surrounds the heart. They can occur after heart surgery or trauma.

- Pleural adhesions: These are adhesions that form between the lungs and the pleura, the membrane that lines the chest cavity. They can occur after lung surgery or trauma.

- Tendon adhesions: These are adhesions that form between tendons and the surrounding tissues. They can occur after tendon surgery or trauma.

- Nerve adhesions: These are adhesions that form between nerves and the surrounding tissues. They can occur after nerve surgery or trauma.

Adhesions can cause a variety of symptoms, including pain, stiffness, infertility, and bowel obstruction. In some cases, adhesions can be severe enough to require surgery to remove them.
