Artificial mesh causes adhesions
Artifical MESH causes adhesions
If MESH was used in surgery, like for hernias or like in this case for stabilisation of a TRAM-Flap (Breast reconstruction with
Transverse Rectus abdominis Muscle Flap) adhesions are often the result and consequence.
This patient from Texas / US that we performed surgery 10 days ago and just yesterday the second look, had 4 previous surgeries
with her surgeon (he and his nurse came with the patient to observe the adhesiolysis procedure).
Here are the images:
one can see the reformation of adhesions under the mesh.
After adhesiolysis, application of SprayGel
and no adhesion reformation at the second look laparoscopy.
And in the same patient who underwent an abdominal hysterectomy years ago some more adhesions coould be detected.
Here are adhesions to the left pelvic arae with pulling sensations to the bowel:
Here the same area after adhesiolysis
and here after application of SprayGel
and the second-look laparoscopy shows no adhesion reformation at this area.
