Adhesions and Crohn's Disease

I was just wondering if anyone had experienced adhesions possibly related to Crohn's disease. I have Crohn's, and have been pretty stable for years, but last year developed a pain in my groin area. I had cat scan and they detected that my abdominal lymph nodes were swollen so they did a laparoscopy. The lymph nodes were swollen and reddish, but no cancerous. Then I got different insurance and went to a different doctor. She sent me to a surgeon who did another laparoscopy but this time he went down to the groin area, and there were two large adhesions. He cut them out but said he could not cauterize the areas because it could damage nerves. So now I hope they are not growing back. The whole thing is strange. Please email me if you have had a similar history.

Thanks!
