Commissura(-I) [Commissura(-Ae); Syn.: Commissura, Synechia, Schwart] In Pathology

Adhesions (synonyms: commissures, synechiae, moorings) are fibrous cords formed between adjacent surfaces of internal organs due to injury or inflammation. Adhesions can be both inside the body and on its surface.

Adhesions occur in various diseases, such as inflammation of the peritoneum, peritonitis, appendicitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, cholelithiasis, gastric and duodenal ulcers. They can also form after abdominal surgery, such as removal of the appendix or gallbladder.

When adhesions form, the normal functioning of organs is disrupted, which can lead to various complications, such as intestinal obstruction, liver or kidney dysfunction, the formation of gallstones and others.

Various methods are used to treat adhesions, such as drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgery. One of the most effective methods is laparoscopic surgery, in which adhesions are removed through small incisions in the abdomen and normal functioning of the organs is restored.

It is important to remember that the formation of adhesions can be associated with various diseases, therefore, if symptoms associated with organ dysfunction appear, you must consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Adhesions are fibrous strands that form between the walls of organs or tissues as a result of pathological processes. They can occur after injury or inflammation, and also with certain diseases such as endometriosis and Crohn's disease.

Adhesions can lead to various complications, such as intestinal obstruction, obstruction of the fallopian tubes, limited organ mobility, and others. Some adhesions can be easily removed with surgery, but others may require more complex treatment.

On the other hand, adhesions are part of the normal physiological structure of some organs, such as the lungs and liver. They help hold organs in place and prevent them from moving out of place. Adhesions also play an important role in the formation of scars after injuries and operations.

The main signs of adhesions are pain, impaired movement of organs and changes in their shape. Depending on the location and severity of the adhesions, a doctor's consultation may be required. Treatment may include medications, physical therapy, and surgery.
