Not unless there is an obstruction. Before my emergency surgery in 2001 the cat scan tech said I see you have appendicitis. I advised her that was impossible since I had mine out in 1966. What she was seeing was the area where they pieced back my small & large intestines after the colectomy I had done. So if you are not totally obstructed they will not show up. Even with a total obstruction all they can tell is where it is obstructed & not the adhesions themselves. Hope this helps

Hugs-prayers & pain free moments to my extended family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
