Hello,
Post operative adhesion can happen after major abdominal surgeries. You can go for a CECT abdomen to know the severity of the condition. If there is bowel obstruction, revision surgery may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
