An adhesion is scar tissue that binds or connects tissues and organs of the body that are normally not connected. Most often adhesion are a cause of surgery. An example may be an abdominal adhesion, which can cause kinks or twists in the intestines which results in intestinal obstruction which has the potential of being life threatening. However, most of the time an adhesion will not cause problems with the body.
