I had surgery with the doctors from http://www.adlap.com almost 8 months ago
and I still feel good. This was my sixth surgery and other times
adhesion pain returned as early as 2 months after surgery. The big
difference this time is that they did not rely on thermal methods for
adhesiolysis. I cannot say that my recovery is perfect, I still take
lactulose to keep my bowels moving, but I have no pain. Plus, in the
past once the symptoms returned I got progressively and steadily worse.
This, too is different this time around. I can honestly say that my
symptoms leveled off about 4 months ago and things have stayed the same.
Given what I have experienced in the past, if this is where I stay, I am
completely happy with my treatment. The main difference with the adlap
doctors is their avoidance of laser and cautery. They cut the adhesions
and use this aqua device instead of using a laser or cautery tool. I am
sure that the heat is what caused the worsening of the adhesions in the
past, at least in my case. It was worth traveling to Pennsylvania to be
treated by them and if I ever face another surgery I will again seek
treatment from these doctors.
