Treatment of adhesive disease

A loyalty program is available for surgical interventions in the hospital, which makes treatment even more affordable.

Adhesions are strands of connective tissue. They can develop inside or between internal organs, causing functional disorders and pain.

In women, adhesions in the pelvis often cause chronic pain and problems with conception. In this case, surgical treatment is prescribed.

At «Oxford Medical», adhesion removal is performed laparoscopically. This is a minimally invasive operation, which is performed through several punctures, with a diameter of up to 1 cm. The absence of abdominal incisions allows you to reduce the duration of hospitalization to 1 day, reduce the risk of complications and improve the rehabilitation period.

The advantages of laparoscopic peritoneal adhesions are:

• minimal damage to healthy tissues;
• low risk of complications;
• hospitalization for only 1 day;
• easy rehabilitation period.

At Oxford Medical, viscerolysis is performed by surgeons with more than 20 years of experience. They are perfectly familiar with the laparoscopic method, as well as open access operations, which allows choosing the optimal method for each patient and performing all manipulations with maximum accuracy.

Symptoms of adhesions may vary depending on the location of the adhesions:

1. Adhesions in the fallopian tubes lead to impaired patency. As a result, the egg cannot pass from the ovary to the uterus, which threatens infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
2. Adhesions in the ovaries, between them and neighboring organs or the walls of the abdominal cavity can lead to impaired ovulation and, as a result, problems with conception.
3. Adhesions inside the uterus (also called synechiae) or between it and other pelvic organs can cause menstrual irregularities and fertility problems.
4. Adhesions in the intestine can form between its loops and/or pelvic organs, which can lead to intestinal obstruction, persistent pain and intestinal diseases in women.
5. Adhesions between the bladder and the uterus or other organs can cause pain during urination and frequent urges.

Abdominal adhesions can progress, so timely diagnosis and treatment are important.

Before laparoscopic surgery, the patient is prescribed a comprehensive examination. It is necessary to make sure that there are indications for surgical intervention, as well as to exclude contraindications and reduce the risk of complications.

Diagnosis may include:

• gynecological examination with the collection of materials for analysis;
• Ultrasound of the pelvic organs;
• computed tomography (CT);
• metrosalpingography (study of the patency of the fallopian tubes);
• analyses of urogenital discharge for microflora;
• cytological analysis of cervical scrapings (PAP test);
• blood tests (general, biochemical, coagulogram and others);
• electrocardiography and other examinations as indicated.

«Oxford Medical» has a modern surgical department equipped with expert-class equipment. It allows for both open and laparoscopic surgeries of any complexity. Surgeons decide which method is optimal individually. In most cases, laparoscopy is preferred, as it is less traumatic, has a minimal risk of complications, and is accompanied by a lighter and shorter rehabilitation period.

Laparoscopic viscerolysis for adhesive disease of the abdominal cavity and pelvic organs is performed as follows:

1. The patient is placed on the operating table, after which she is put into a state of anesthesia.

2. The surgeon makes a small puncture in the abdominal wall, through which carbon dioxide is injected. It provides peritoneal elevation, increases the surgical field, and improves visibility.

3. After that, he makes several more punctures, the diameter of which is about 1 cm, and inserts a laparoscope through them – a flexible endoscope equipped with a miniature video camera with an LED, and special surgical instruments.

4. After that, using a laparoscope, the image from which is transmitted to the monitor screen and magnified many times, the internal organs and peritoneal walls are examined.

5. Having detected adhesions, the surgeon carefully dissects them and removes fibrous tissue.

6. After completing all necessary manipulations, the surgeon conducts a second examination, coagulates blood vessels if necessary, removes all surgical instruments, pumps out carbon dioxide and sutures the puncture sites.

The advantages of laparoscopic peritoneal adhesive disease are:

• minimal damage to healthy tissues;

• low risk of complications;

• hospitalization for only 1 day;

• easy rehabilitation period.

At «Oxford Medical» viscerolysis is performed by surgeons with more than 20 years of experience. They are perfectly familiar with the method of laparoscopy, as well as open access operations, which allows you to choose the optimal method for each patient and perform all manipulations with maximum accuracy.

In case of adhesions, treatment with laparoscopic surgery is the least traumatic. Therefore, patients can leave the clinic on the 2nd-3rd day. After open surgery, hospitalization can be 1-2 weeks.

After removal of adhesions, the patient is transferred to a comfortable single or double room, where she remains under the 24-hour supervision of medical staff.

On the day of surgery, it is recommended to adhere to bed rest. You can get up, eat and start drinking water only after examination by the surgeon.

The cost of treating chronic adhesions may vary. It depends on the location and number of adhesions, as well as the presence of complications that require additional manipulations. You can find out the prices here. The doctor will advise you more precisely on this issue, taking into account individual characteristics, during a preliminary consultation.
