Maybe my conspiracy theory mind is working overboard, but it seems to me that most adhesion problems are accidental injuries caused in the course of surgery -- and surgeons have a strong interest in hiding the extent of the adhesional injuries that they cause... If you have a hysterectomy and then a year later you have a bowel obstruction and they do surgery for that then I bet that gets listed as a bowel obstruction and nothing about adhesions, right?
