Adhesions

Are there any surgical ways to treat adhesions?  I have had 3 heart surgeries done through the sternum and one lung surgery done via thoracotomy. Thanks Kathy

Dear Kathy,



These adhesions may be dealt with surgically, but usually they are left alone unless there is some problem they are causing.
