I know of a few from long ago, that did have overgrowth of "scar" tissue/adhesions , internally - not surface scarring, that was a problem for them and caused ongoing pain & sx returning.
I believe a couple did have redos and wraps, but their body just happened to produce much more than the usual amount of scar tissue.
It can build up quickly in some people.

Some of the surgical failures just happen, no rhyme or reason.

I think 2 others were in auto accidents during the recovery time, so that set them back & messed them up quite a bit too. So be careful and make sure you have a safe driver taking you to appts & outings..


I'm sure every dr & surgeon has their own opinion about it. As we do too.

Just something to be aware of post op and long term, and again it may not be an issue for you, so not worth stressing about.
