Medical Forum / General / General / July 2006Name that condition
My uncle is recovering from a surgical procedure. His intestines were blocked by scar tissue that has grown from his appendix being removed about 8 years ago. They said the scar tissue was/is spreading out in his body like roots from a tree, and has constricted around his intestines. Anyone know what it is called? > My uncle is recovering from a surgical procedure. His intestines were > blocked by scar tissue that has grown from his appendix being removed > about 8 years ago.
