Donna, Unfortunately you will develope scar tissue from any kind of surgery you have. No matter what. There are no medical tests to indicate scar tissue forming in your abdomin unless your obgyn suggest to do a lap to see the damage done inside. I wish a medical company would try and develope an instrument that would show the damage of scar tissue and somehow prevent from coming back. There is a website that can give you more information to help you. It is http://www.adlap.com. There are 3 specialist who can help you with any questions you may have. I wish the best in being pain free. Another suggestion would be to also seek a pain specialist to help you deal with your constant pain. Hope this helps you. Dee
