Severe Adhesions Can Be Managed Laparoscopically

A 43 year old, gravid 4, para 3, 127 lb, 5 ft 1”, status post hysterectomy, was referred to us for management of a cyst on both of her ovaries. During laparoscopic intervention the patient was found to have severe abdominal and pelvic adhesions. Extensive adhesiolysis was performed and ovaries removed. Cystoscopy with indigo carmin injection proved ureteral integrity. Bladder hydrodistension test revealed a bladder capacity of 950 cc under 70 cm of water pressure and glomerulations in all four quadrants consistent with early interstitial cystitis. Estimated blood loss was 800 and operative time was 5 hours 23 minutes. The case demonstrates how a case that looks initially impossible is usually far from it.
