Ovarian Cyst Removal Procedure (Open Surgery) - Part 2

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Post ni sambungan dari post sebelum ni.

As for me, Dr Siti kata kena buat open surgery. Bcoz before this dh 2 kali czer. So keadaan perut dh tak sama mcm original. Dh berubah. Dgn scar tissue kt dlm perut tu yg dipanggil adhesion. Adhesion ni melekat2 kat organ2 dlm perut kita dan menyukarkan proses pembedahan.

What are Adhesions?

Adhesions are actually bands of scar tissue that form inside your abdomen or pelvis after surgery. As your body heals from surgery, this scar tissue connects organs together, causing them to stick to one another. Abdominal adhesions are a common outcome of any pelvic or abdominal surgery. In fact, they develop in 93% of people who have undergone pelvic surgery. They are especially common after cesarean sections.

How do Adhesions Form?
Adhesions form as a natural response to trauma that your body has undergone. All of your abdominal organs are wrapped in a clear membrane, called the peritoneum. During cesarean section, the peritoneum is cut in order to expose the uterus. As a result, the peritoneum becomes inflamed. After surgery, this inflammation triggers the formation of scar tissue.

Typically, this scar tissue disappears after a little while, in a process called fibrinolysis. However, cesarean section surgery sometimes decreases the blood flow to the peritoneum, preventing the fibrinolysis process from taking place. As a result, the scar tissue forms into adhesions.

Dr ckp, if kita buat laparascopy, it is difficult for dr to locate the cyst dgn adhesions yg berselirat kt perut tu. End-up Dr kata, if laparascopy fail, kena jugak buat open surgery. So better opt for open surgery. N Dr bgtau this time also General Anesthetic (GA).

Kiranye, prosedur kali ni sama jek mcm czer cuma buang cyst. Adoi ai...Harap2 takde apa2 lah. Dr bgtau it takes abt 6 weeks to recover. Gulp. Pengalaman bersalinkan Ayid & Amin via emergency czer (Ayid - premature contraction at 27 weeks & Amin - bleeding due to placenta previa at 32 week) and both under general anesthetics (GA). Meaning, totally black-out. Alhamdulillah, takde complication post-ops. Harap2 kali takde apa2 lah...


Time ni jugak Dr bg date utk operate. So Dr bg 19 April 2013 (Jumaat) pukul 2pm. Setau yan, schedule Dr Siti, operation day dia Monday morning & Friday afternoon. 

Then, we all plan la, lps operate nk dok mana and bebudak nnt mcm mana masa yan hospitalized.
