Adhesions are too much of a good thing. When surgeons operate on the body, tissues and organs must be pushed aside to get at the target of the operation. The body does not like to have its organs pushed around. It considers such treatment an indignity. Therefore, it decides to form scar tissue to keep organs and tissues in their rightful place.
Some people are superhuman formers of scar tissue.
Their bodies festoon the abdomen or chest with excessive amounts of scar tissue. The scar tissue looks like strands of a spider web. Those strands are adhesions. Adhesions can trap body organs. The intestine is a good example.
