Christi,

It basically depends. I can tell you that from my experience Gortex will not prevent adhesions from reforming. I know that for a fact. As for any side effects....my body rejected Gortex every time it was put into my body. I don't know that it is harmful....but my body wouldn't accept its placement.

Hope this helps.
