Dear Deb,

What is a Synchromed Infusion System? My pain specialist has suggested the Morphine Pump implant. I had my abdomen secured with "Dura Mater" after it herniated a thrid time. Dr. Bernd-Uwe Sevin a Mayo Clinic OBgyn/Oncologist surgeon performed it.

I would not want to have surgery to remove adhesions if it is not a permanent solution. From what I have learned about Dr. Reich's "Adhesionlysis" procedure, adhesions do not return. His theory is "the solution to the pollution is dilution." This makes sense to me.

I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks!
