It is not uncommon for connective tissue to build up after surgeries in which a lot of tissue is removed and consequently inflammation with lots of fluids happened. The liquid might sometimes contain too much protein filaments which are not absorbed well enough and help forming the connective tissue. This condition can not be predicted and might happen in almost every case of surgery accompanied with intense inflammation.
Once the connective tissue is build up, it might pull or put pressure on some of the organs and structures it is attached to, thus causing pain. Pain killers are all that can be used, unless another surgery is performed. The last is rarely done. Perhaps if the patient has another surgery in the same part of the body, the surgeon might decide to remove the connective tissue.
