Hi Tarouza!

I think "sequelles" may be a reference to scar tissue, the word is defines in french as the consequences of an operartion; "post operatoire" is post operative! Pelvienne, presumably, refers to the pelvic area. Adenopathy in English is enlargement of the lymph nodes so I assume the same in French, mesenteric refers to the position of the lymph nodes, lower right pelvic area near the apendix. I think this is referring to some post operative inflammation of the lymph nodes.

I just googled the terms as they originate in latin they are similar in most languages. The important words in all that medical gobbledegook are"absence de". Whatever the language those are the words I want to see after my op next week.

Thanks for the spur to improve my French! Beats the hell out of "La plume de ma tante est dans le bureau de mon oncle"! LOL!
