Laparotomy, Radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy
I had a major surgery about 8 months ago but the pain around my stomach hasn't gone away. My blood tests and CT scan results are normal.They mentioned that have adhesions which make me in pain all day all night, so I only rely on the pain reliefs.

post abdominal surgery and dizziness
hi guys. 10 days ago I had a
laparotomy
which is open abdominal surgery to remove a huge cyst and my left ovary/fallopian tube. The surgery went well with no complications and I was discharged 3 days later. On discharge I was very dizzy walking about for the first time which I get is normal.

Wound Management
I posted a while ago re my
laparotomy
wound breakdown and got a lot of good advice. After minimal progress I got a PICO vacuum dressing - a lot of reluctance which may have been cost rather than clinical criteria. The difference it has made is incredible.

Endo, ovarian cysts and bowel problems
I was diagnosed with endo about 11 years ago, have had a
laparotomy
and laparoscopy in the past. I’ve had ovarian cysts removed at those times and endo tissue.

TWW torture
A negative for me is very daunting (as I’m sure it is for everyone) as we don’t have any in the freezer and I could be facing another
laparotomy
, which obviously comes with a much longer recovery time than keyhole. And my clock is well and truly ticking (levels are at the lower end).

Recovery after laparotomy - return to work
Hi there,I wondered what kind of recovery it takes after
laparotomy
for endo and adenomyosis. I had the surgery a month ago now and progress initially was good and I've definitely turned a corner. But I'm tired and my stitches are still pulling if I do too much.

Does this sound like hypothyroidism?
I've had every gyne test there is to find the cause, including a
laparotomy
. Surgeon has confirmed its definitely a hormonal cause. - Hair loss. I have a thin patch on the front of my head and parting and lose huge amounts every day. - Dry/itchy skin.

Later, in my fifties had
laparotomy
for suspected of ovarian cancer. Now there lies one huge problem! Years later a caring GP when I complained of abdo pain said let's test you for coeliac. No one had ever suggested this. Bingo yes positive !!! Some improvement in my overall well being.

In what it says is world first, Hadassah medical team saves fetus’s twisted ovaries
Dan Arbel, opted for a mini-
laparotomy
, making a small incision in the baby’s abdomen. “Through this incision, he managed to get to the ovaries, untwist them, and drain the cysts,” Porat said.

Adhesions and small bowel obstructions
I have just had a
Laparotomy
to remove extensive scar tissue/ adhesions , it took my surgeon 4 hours to get through the adhesions and then 2 weeks later I ended up back in hospital with a small bowel obstruction. Does anybody else suffer with this problem ??? If so it would be great to chat

Seromucinous borderline ovarian tumour
Following my
laparotomy
surgery last month (total hysterectomy, oophorectomy, appendectomy and omentum biopsy) I got the all clear. My frozen section and final pathology were both seromucinous borderline ovarian tumour stage 1a. Thank goodness for our fabulous NHS.

Clear cell reoccurrence 6-don't think I'll ever be out of the woods :(
Hi Everyone, I had a
laparotomy
just over 3 weeks ago. A large tumour growing between my stomach and bowel was removed. I've recovered really well since, no issues from surgery at all.

Will they remove cysts?
In the past I’ve had a
laparotomy
to remove numerous cysts and endometrial tissue and a
laparotomy
to remove two cysts. After having an MRI they’ve found a cyst that’s 6cmX5cm and a 3cm dermoid tumour (I’m sure most people just call that a cyst too) both in my right ovary.

A reply to Wasabigirl’s post about PID (?) which has since been deleted
A sonogram generally cant see those areas (nor a laparoscopy or
laparotomy
) and pain in those areas can refer to the groin. I had an infection and was only treated with tetracycline for 5 days (many years ago). Then the terrible burning started on the lower right that responded to antibiotics.
