Why Choose Florida Hospital? Adhesiolysis of Adhesions

Past surgical procedures may cause scar tissue known as adhesions to form virtually anywhere inside the body following surgery. This scar tissue can link two membranes together, which may disrupt normal function, create chronic pain, discomfort, and intestinal blockage. Lysis of adhesions is a surgical procedure that removes this soft scar tissue to treat a complication or to prevent a future problem involving two intersecting muscles, tissues, joints, tendons, and/or organs. If the intestines get stuck together, a patient may develop a bowel obstruction that will require immediate emergency treatment. Doctors at Florida Hospital are specialized in performing lysis of adhesions to remove this scar tissue using state-of-art surgical devices.

Mission Moment

By Laurie Teter (This article was published by MDNews http://viewer.e-digitaledition.com/issue/37170/21) Mission work captured the interest of Clark Gerhart, M.D., a long time ago. In fact, it played a large part in his decision to go into the medical profession. After years of training and setting up a practice, he was finally able to fulfill his early yearning for mission work. He provided disaster relief in New York City after 9/11, in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina and in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. In addition to his domestic work, Dr. Gerhart has traveled to India and China on short-term missions, and has been to West Africa four times in the last two and a half years. Dr. Gerhart, a general surgeon at Surgical Specialists of Wyoming Valley, firmly believes medical missions are not as much about what you can accomplish in one week as about building relationships where you can continue to interact with people. "There are tremendously qualified, skilled, intelligent people in these countries," says Dr. Gerhart. "The little bit we do as Westerners in a week is small compared to what we can accomplish if we support the people in these countries all year long. Just given the opportunity, resources and training, they can do great things in their countries. That's what I'd like to see happen." The most profound impact mission work has had on Dr. Gerhart is his greater appreciation for what Americans have in the United States and what we take for granted - not just in the medical profession, but in life. In regard to medicine, Dr. Gerhart has learned how to manage patients in other countries without all the expensive resources available in the United States. He has also discovered that he can treat people successfully without reams of paperwork. From his work overseas, Dr. Gerhart has realized that the idea of being on a mission is lifelong. To be successful, one has to embrace the culture, learn the language of the community and build relationships. This lesson has been a tremendous help in his practice at home. "It's important to work within the culture rather than forcing your culture on someone." expresses Dr. Gerhart. Within the medical community, support of missions can be demonstrated in a variety of ways. Group practices that are willing to let associates and employees take time-off; support of those who are traveling; and finding creative ways to save and reuse valuable medical equipment are all important to mission work. Equipment and devises are available; however, the storing and shipping of these resources is expensive.

CONSIDERING SURGERY

http://www.adhesionrelateddisorder.com/adhesion3.html If surgery is recommended for you, it's important to know what your options are and what questions to ask your primary-care physician and surgeon. If you learn all you can, you'll be sure that you're making the right decision.
Jason Bodzin, M.D., F.A.C.S., director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Institute at Sinai Hospital in Detroit, advises you to follow a four-step process:

• Examine your options. 
• Talk to your surgeon. 
• Talk to patients who have had the operation. 
• Weigh all the factors in making your decision. 

Knowing What to Ask
Before consenting to surgery, the first question you should ask is: "Is this surgery necessary, or are there other medical options that I can try?" For instance, many people with IBD have avoided surgery by combining total parenteral nutrition (intravenous feeding) with medications. 6-MP, an immunomodulator drug, often successfully heals fistulas that once required surgery.
You'll also want to know:

• Are there other surgical options? 
• What risks will I face by having the operation? 
• How will the operation improve my condition? 
• How long will my recovery take? 
• Will I require medications following surgery? 
• Whom do you recommend as a surgeon? As anesthesiologist? 

Choosing a Surgeon
Many sources can help you find a surgeon: 

• Friends, relatives, neighbors 
• Your primary-care physician 
• American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS): (800) 776-CERT. (The ABMS can tell you whether a surgeon is board-certified.) 
• American College of Surgeons: (312) 664-4050, Ext. 391 
• The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons: (708) 290-9184 
• Your local CCFA chapter 
• Your health insurance carrier 
• Your local hospital, or your state or county medical association -- all can provide lists of board-certified surgeons. 

Once you've compiled a list of two or three possible surgeons, ask the following questions about each one: 

• Is he experienced with the particular operation you need? (This is particularly important if you are undergoing a fairly new procedure, such as an ileoanal anastomosis.) 
• Does she treat many IBD patients? 
• Is he affliated with the hospital you want to be in? 
• Is she affiliated with a medical school or is she a member of its clinical faculty? 

You'll also want to know: 

• Where the surgeon trained, what his specialization is, and whether he belongs to any professional organizations or has published any professional articles. (To get this information, ask the surgeon directly or go to the library.) 
• Whether the hospital frequently performs your kind of surgery and whether the staff is well-versed in IBD.

Getting a Second Opinion:
It is always wise to get a second opinion. In fact, many insurance companies require it. Before seeking a second opinion, you may want to get copies of all your medical records. However, any physician can request these for you.
If you receive conflicting opinions, visit a third surgeon or review the situation with your primary-care physician. Though this process can be frustrating and time-consuming, it will give you peace of mind.

The ETCA-ARD solutions Antwerp

How those afflicted with ARD can have hope

What are adhesions? 
Adhesions are fibrous bands which connect tissues and organs that are normally separated. Generally, they occur within a week after surgery as a part of the normal healing process. 
  
Why are they a problem? 
They often reduce movement and distort internal organs. Adhesions can cause a variety of complications including infertility, pelvic pain and bowel obstruction.  In a short way: they can greatly affect your daily activities. 
   
Where do adhesions form? 
As they form on tissue surface following surgery: these can be found anywhere. But there are some organs where they are more likely to form, namely: ovaries, pelvic sidewalls, fallopian tubes and bowel. These are potentially affected during gynaecological and other procedures. 
    
What can be done? 
You have to understand that you as a patient can neither cause, nor eliminate your own adhesions. 
Microsurgical techniques were developed so the primary causes of trauma and inflammation are minimized and the formation of adhesions reduced. 
Fortunately, the use of new adhesion barriers during the medical intervention offers great hope to prevent the formation of adhesions.  It actively prevents the tissues of forming a whole during the critical week following the surgery. 
    
How does it function? 
During the abdominal, pelvic, surgery, the surgeon would apply the adhesion barrier on the surfaces who poses the biggest risk for the formation of adhesions, such as uterus, ovary, etc….  The coating prevents the tissues from gluing together and forming adhesions.  When the healing process is complete, this synthetic, absorbable, adhesion barrier dissolves and is carried away from the body by the urine. 
   
Important for yourself 
The doctors you will meet understand and acknowledge that adhesions do cause pain along with a host of associated illnesses, disorders and medical problems that arise because adhesions are present.
   
They will do their utmost to improve your quality of life.
  
Why at the ETCA in Antwerp?
  
Here many internationally renowned Gynaecologic surgeons have formed world famous endoscopic units.
  
In Antwerp professor van Herendael has been involved in endoscopic surgery for more than 25 years.  On a yearly basis over 200 major endoscopic surgeries are performed by professor van Herendael and his staff, all highly trained in endoscopic surgery.
 
He founded an endoscopic school, the ETCA, the Endoscopic Training Centre Antwerp. Over 250 endoscopic surgeons have been trained at the ETCA and some of them are now leaders in the field on their own merit.
 
Professor van Herendael’s accomplishments in the field of endoscopic surgery have been recognized all over the world and the Università degli studi dell’ Insubria at Varese in Italy has bestowed him the honour of a professorship in endoscopic surgery.
 
To accomplish as high a surgical standard as possible a partnership with industry has been made. Karl Storz Gmbh & Co (Tuttlingen Germany), one of the world leaders in manufacturing endoscopic equipment, provides the theatres with their newest instruments, video and computer equipment.
