At the present time, you will learn that pain management in a multidisciplinary pain clinic is the best that medicine has to offer to those who suffer chronic pain, as a result of adhesions. Each successive surgery tends to cause adhesions to re-form and de nova ( new ) adhesions to develop - and, as a result, tends to also increase the intensity of the pain, which the patient already has.
[]]] ADHESION SPECIALISTS:
Until the FDA has approved a gel-adhesion barrier, surgery really is not advised - unless you seek a surgeon who specializes in adhesiolysis procedures ( surgery for adhesions ). Many adhesion-sufferers make the mistake of trusting just any surgeon to perform their surgery!!!
There are surgeons, who specialize in adhesiolysis procedures!!! These surgeons have mastered the advanced laparoscopic microsurgical techniques, which are required in order to be able to give their patient the very best chance to become adhesion-free. Their success is based on their technique and skill in regularly performing these very difficult, time-consuming and risky surgeries - over and over again!!! The very best surgeons have logged thousands of hours in laparoscopic procedures!!
The surgeon, who specializes in adhesiolysis procedures, must be very gentle as he lyses ( cuts ) adhesions. Any unnecessary trauma to the internal tissues has the propensity to cause adhesions. Most importantly, the surgeon must be very meticulous - and makes sure that every trace of blood is removed from the patient's abdominal/pelvic cavity - prior to concluding the surgical procedure!!!
Adhesions begin forming immediately after surgery!! Adhesions are the way our body heals itself. This is a natural process - our body is in control of the healing. It is true that even the very best surgeon, who specializes in performing adhesiolysis procedures, cannot guarantee that his patient will be adhesion-free!! BUT the surgeon, who is very skilled and very experienced in adhesion surgical procedures, will be able to give his patient the VERY BEST possible chance to become adhesion-free.
There aren't any surgeons who can guarantee that their patient will be adhesion-free; but with the skill and experience of an adhesion specialist, surgical patients have the very best chance possible to become adhesion free!!!
