UK doctors warned about post-op adhesions http://yalenewhavenhealth.org/healthnews/reuters/NewsStory0709200131.htm LONDON, July 09, 2001 (Reuters Health) - Doctors in the UK have been warned that they need to be more aware that patients with abdominal pain who have recently undergone surgery may have a potentially dangerous tissue adhesion.
