Abdominal adhesion

Hi there,
I have never heard of anyone having gangrene from adhesions. Is that something your doctor mentioned to you? I also have many adhesions from multiple abdominal surgeries. A few years ago, I had a seven hour surgery to clear them as best as the could. The surgeon was W. Scott Melvin at The Ohio State University. He did a great job! Naturally, more adhesions grew after that surgery, but they don’t bother me like they used to. Also, my gastroenterologist recently told me that the university has massage therapists who specialize in adhesions. Hope you find some relief soon!

Hi Susanh... great to hear that the surgery worked for you. I too am thinking about it.. was your surgery laparoscopic ? 7 hours sounds challenging... but worth the results, it seems.
