All I know is that is what I have wrong with me, I see my specialist on the 21st to go through what happens next, I know I have to have more bladder and bowl surgery x

Mine was only found because I had adhesions removed, from surgery before (open hysterectomy ). I don't want more surgery, but I do want to know what is happening to that tube and ovary, that is hidden by the bowel?

Mine was same. My fallopian was removed as was strangling my bowel. Im not sure if they took the ovary off the bowel or left it but it took some finding at my last ultrasound. My symptoms are mainly bowel related. Severe constipation/impactions! Xx

I know I'm going to have to have surgery. I just wondered if it was difficult surgery

You will need a team of surgeons. It will be major surgery. I didnt find the surgery that bad although i had complications. But pain wise i was well medicated. I also had work done elsewhere, bladder, other ovary/fallopian. I ended with an abdominal drain and catheter for a few days. Recovery waa about 6 weeks although i waa looking for work much sooner.
