Helen I know about the complications. After 2 surgeons worked on my for 3 hours I was in the hospital for 19 days because I then perforated and had to be operated on again. The adhesions were already there in force and it took the 2 many hours again to get to the problem area and then I lost 10 inches of intestines. I still am not right from the second surgery 7 months later and live with a partial obstruction in 2 areas of my small intestines and also adhesions attached to the bladder. This really is a sucky way to live. I pray the gel works and get approved soon. Also sorry to hear you arent feeling well hope it gets better, God bless Robin

Specific qualifications are required for one to participate in one of
the SprayGel Clinical Trials.

listed at websites #3 and #4. If you qualify, #5 provides the contact
information for the person to contact at Confluent Surgical.

When the surgeon does NOT have the skill and experience in performing
very difficult and time-consuming adhesiolysis procedures, there is a
greater chance that the patient will develop complications. Severe very
dense adhesions make it very difficult to visualize internal organs; and
consequently, it can take many hours for the surgeon to lyse adhesions -
without causing any unforeseen complications.
