As is now clearly demonstrated, adhesions in the abdominal cavity occur with a frequency of 50 to 95%. Adhesions in the body can be imagined like a knot in a T-shirt. A normally loose fabric no longer falls loosely once it is knotted. Visible crease lines are created, which extend far beyond the knot and spread in all directions. Transferred to the body, these are the tension lines that can then cause symptoms. How you can recognize possible consequences of small and large operations yourself, why it is possible to successfully treat old scars, and why it is so important to mentally grasp the scars, are explained in detail in this chapter.
