Endo and LSH
I have an extensive case of endo with adhesions, cysts and my uterus is fixed to my colon. But according to what my Dr told me when I have my surgery he's going to have to do an abdominal incision because of the endo.
He said he's afraid that he won't get all the endo with a lap, he wants to have a clear and open view of everything so that he can clean it up really well. Also the pelvic adhesions all have to be removed and my organs seperated. He said it's not uncommon to have pockets of blood and cysts with endo as well, which I have as well so he wants to be able to see everything with his own eyes to make sure that he gets it all.
I've had a previous laparotomy so they are just going to go through that way, and I feel better knowing that he is going to actually see what's happening with all of my pelvic organs since they are fixed to each other.
I think the Dr just goes with what he feels will be the best route of entry. What he feels comfortable doing.
Talk to your dr and see what his opinion is, what his thoughts are.
Best Wishes,
Tammy
