Can a tummy tuck cause intestinal adhesions?

May 22, 2016
Asked By:driven2005 in Charlotte, NC

I asked my doctor if the TT could cause abdominal adhesions since I now can't go to the bathroom (they found a new "kink" in my colon) and the center of my abdomen feels like there is a rock there, and he said no way. Said he was no where near my intestines. Am I missing something? Can't any type of surgery cause adhesions?
