Hi, I recently had my 3rd adhesion removal since my hyst 3 yrs ago. It
was done by laparotomy because in my last scope the operative report
said "extensive left sided bowel adhesions"......they did remove some
adhesions from my bowel on the left and right side, but when I asked my
general surgeon about the extensive adhesions from the last report he
said that those had seemed to "mature" and were now normal muscle and
tissue......??
I have never heard of this happening and am pretty confident he would've
removed them if they had been there since he seemed sorta bummed that
there wasn't "more to do" while in there......any input anyone can give
me on this "matured adhesion" think would be appreciated....I don't
know, hopefuly he wasn't shooting me a line! thanks for your help!
