Internal scar tissue is formed as a result of some surgical procedures, such as hartmannâs procedure, injury, inflammation or infection. The medical term for internal scarring is âadhesionâ. It is different from external scar tissue in the way that it forms. As it can cause tethers or a biological barrier, and result in pain and complications. It is caused by your bodyâs own healing process.
A number of less common causes include autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, hemochromatosis, certain medications, and gallstones. Cirrhosis is characterized by the replacement of normal liver tissue by scar tissue. These changes lead to loss of liver function.
