Hi, I too have had a laparotomy for a ruptured tubal pregnancy only the Dr. didn't take out the ovary!!! I had my left ovary taken out via laparoscopy shortly after due to adhesions. Unfortunately I had complications so I can't give you a time frame. My sister-in-law had the same procedure with no complications and she was in the hospital for 2 or 3 days. She has had no problems and no more pain! I had my hysterectomy about 7 months ago and my doctor used the adhesion barrier Seprafilm. I was the one who mentioned using the barrier, not my doctor. As for the hysterectomy, I am very glad I had it done. I had Asherman Syndrome(adhesions in the uterus). I am on a hormone patch and have adjusted very well. Welcome to the board and good luck, remember you are not alone. Sherry
