Hello, my 8 year old daughter (not started her period) had a laparocopic
appendectomy (determined-chronic appendicitis) on August 28, 2009 and
walked bent (with pain) over until they did a CT scan 3 weeks later and
discovered what they thought was an abcess (E. coli). She then was
scheduled for surgery to drain the fluid pocket. Once they started
laparscopically surgery, when they got in they realized she was full of
adhesions. They to switch to a laparotomy. All of her pelvic orgrans
were frozen with the adhesion. They said they have never seen anything
like it in a peds patient. The surgeon used seprafilm during this
surgery to try and prevent more adhesions. We are now a little over two
weeks out and she hasn't really improved. She has had another CT Scan
and it does not show any fluid pockets, but it does reveal more
inflammation than before. She still can't walk without holding on to us
and cannot sit up or stand up straight. Has anyone had experience with
peds adhesions? Or does anyone have any recommendations of doctors in
Missouri for adhesions? Thank you, any assistance would be greatly
appreciated.
