A close friend of mine had surgery for to remove her overies because one was in a fluid filled sack that was large. She had had abdominal surgeries in the past and was not surprised to find out she had adhesions. The Dr. said that he had to remove the adhesions so that he could get the overies out. During the process her bowel split (?) but he was holding it so her cavity was not contaminated and she was home in about 10 days. Then only 4 days later the incision came open and bile and waste products came out. She was rushed to the ER where the same Dr. did another surgery-had to remove part of her colon and tried to repair the rest. Now after 7 days in ICU we were told that the colon is leaking again and that they can not do surgery for 12 to 14 months. She will have lipids thru IVs to keep her alive. Has anyone had anything like this or does anyone have any ideas or other sugestions to ask the Dr.
