Dear Susanne, Careful about being a guinea pig. If you are an adhesion grower then I would be ever so cautious about having even one more surgery. I will post the info I found on Nocc. I truly believe there are but a handful of surgeons in the whole wide world that can offer us hope for improvement.....I will do more research but you need to doo it too and be totally comfortable with your decision. Hang on there is hope. Dawn
