Questions about Gortex

Hello...new here and just had my 2nd lap on Tuesday for endo. My doc informed me that my right ovary had adhesions and a rather large endo cyst on it. He told me that after removing the cyst and adhesions he wrapped my ovary in Gortex which keeps it from forming the adhesions again. I have never heard of this before and no one at my endo boards seems to have heard of it. I saw a pic of my ovary wrapped in the Gortex and am curious as to if anyone here has had this done or knows of anyone who's had it done. I'm just not sure what to expect from it. Are there any side effects? Could there be problems later? Or is it basically harmless? I don't go back to see my doc until Dec. 7th and am too curious to wait so if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks :-)
