Origin of the term is in Latin Adhaesio, from adhaerere = to stick to, form 1. Adhesions or scar or scarring occurs when traumatized body parts join to each other in a stable fashion, which may occur under certain circumstances. 2. A fibrous band or structure by which parts abnormally adhere. 3. Scarring is a result of healing of tissue injury. It can be caused by infections such as gonorrhea or Chlamydia or by previous surgeries, such as removal of cysts, appendectomy, removal or destruction of endometriosis and most often by removal or uterine leiomyoma/fibroids by a procedure called myomectomy. 4. Scar tissue forms in the abdominal cavity involuntarily; when it involves fallopian tubes, the ovary, or inside the uterus it can interfere with transport of the egg and implantation of the embryo in the uterus causing infertility. The adhesions can be removed surgically or if considered inoperable the patients should consider the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to achieve conception.
