I could use some advice to shorten my research pathway.
Last night my wife underwent her second major abdominal surgery in three
weeks. The second was to relieve adhesions formed after the first. The
first was to remove her colon due to detection of cancerous tumor in the
cecum.
This morning the surgeon told me my wife "as a tendency toward formation
of adhesions in between the loops of the small intestine. He said two
loops had formed and folded themselves backover and were locked into
position by adhesions on the surface of the loops (not adhesion to the
abdominal wall). He said there has been some R & D toward preventing
adhesions to the wall, which are the primary problem, but almost no R &
D on loop-to-loop adhesions.
