I did a search on Yahoo on "pelvic clearance" (with quotations around it). While I did find the article that you referred to, most of the sites were for cancer, mainly ovarian cancer. This treatment that your Dr. is recommending appears (to me) to be a treatment often used for advanced ovarian cancer - they remove many organs so that if the cancer has microscopically spread they get most or all of it.
Now I'm not a doctor, and I don't even pretend to know anything about adhesions, but I pray that you'll get yourself to an adhesion specialist before you do something irreversible.
It is only suspected that I have adhesions, but if I do they were caused by a laparotomy to remove an organ. The idea that a major surgery with a large incision and removal of organs will help a person with adhesions just doesn't fly with me. Kath, I think you really need to get a second and possibly third opinion before you do something that will definetly change your life, but maybe not for the better.
I know and understand that you want the pain to stop - or at least improve - but please listen to the women on this forum with their "retro-scopes". Please go to Karla's story on the adhesions quilt, read it, and when you're done, please read it again....
