Hi there, I recently had my 2nd attempt at removing adhesions through laprascopic surgery after having a hyst almost two years ago. I have major right lower quadrant pain, pain with bowel movements and walking or any physical activity. After this procedure it was found that my colon was tethered to my pelvic sidewall (which was released) and that I had extensive adhesions on my left side on my bowel which could not be removed laparascopically, my dr decided to leave them as this wasn't her area of expertise. I have had improvement in my pain and she said we should leave it if we can but if we have to go back in, it will be an open procedure with a general surgeon on hand. I am worried that such extensive adhesions were left....what can I hope for down the road?
