Sigmoid Adhesions Could Cause Article 1, 1Jul 01 Obstetrics and Gynaecology Communications

Treatment failure in women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) could be the result of sigmoid adhesions that have developed around the colon, deflecting the colon from its normal position.
Dr. B.W. Bost, a researcher at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont, Texas, points out that in many women, the sigmoid colon is attached to the pelvic sidewall through filamentous and fibrous adhesions.
