What Does This Lab Report Indicate?

I was looking for a picture showing adhesions forming around the small intestine. My husband is an ileostomate, has recently had bladder cancer surgery with some complications afterwards. He was told he probably has adhesions and may need surgery. Just looking for some additional information. Thank you, Rita
