I'm looking for an adhesion specialis... - Pelvic Pain Suppo...
I'm looking for an adhesion specialist in the south of England but at moment would be happy to travel anywhere, can anyone help me???
Sorry Lollyhawkes, what sort of adhesion?
Sorry I don't know what type of adhesions they are, I just know I have alot of them all over my bowel/bladder/stomach lining etc and after a failed surgical attempt to remove them last week I need someone who knows what they are doing!!!!
I'm sure Judy and others will be able to answer your question, sorry I can't although a friend of mine has just had laparoscopic surgery with a MR Dixon at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol and is very impressed by him, I will try to find out more about his skills.
I'm so sorry you are in this situation, I hope that others post with their suggestions.
Thanks for the info all, help is much appreciated.
Hi there Lolly,
I can't answer your question, but I can add a little information if it helps.
Following a vaginal hysterectomy, I was subsequently opened up for a laporotomy to remove appendix, ovary & Fallopian tube.
As my wound burst, and there was a lot of internal bleeding, I seemed to grow many adhesions, and pain continued unabated.
A second, private gynaecologist performed another laparotomy 3 years later. He said he had removed a mass of fibrous tissue and adhesions that were around my pelvic organs.
However, he said, because again I bled SO much during surgery, the chances were that scar tissue and adhesions would grow again.
He actually said that it was a viscous circle, because the very act of surgery causes them!
This doesn't sound helpful I know. But I was told that it should be in my notes that I bleed so much during surgery, I don't clot properly.
SO, maybe I am unusual, and YOUR adhesions can be removed successfully.
I really hope so, and wish you all the best.
I hope someone more knowledgeable than me will contact you soon!
Best wishes, Suzi xx
