Where to Find Detailed Information ??? Posted: 01-24-04 14:40pm


i'm 10 years post menopause with a 6 cm ovarian cyst we have been monitoring at my insistence since june 2002. I've had crohn's disease for 25 years with one bypass resection (eisenhower surgery) of the mid ileum in 1978 followed by a 20 year remission. I've been experiencing very mild crohn's symptoms since late1998. These have been satisfactorily controlled up to and including the present. No hospitalizations, no er visits. I also have copd. However, one of the leading gastro departments in the us has been recommending resection since 1999 without giving me a satisfactory reason to agree to the surgery and no advice on treating medically. Where can I find detailed information on what I assume would be a complete supracervical hysterectomy, ovary and tube removal? An actual video of such surgery would be ideal! Where can I find detailed information on small bowel resection and strictureplasty? Again an actual video would be ideal. I've attended surgery and necropsies on dogs, some of them my very favorites, over 30 years of breeding and showing them just so you understand what I mean by detailed information. Also a question about the respirator: can the respirator tube be placed thru the mouth rather than the nose? Can the patient be taken off the respirator long enough to be stood up, to walk a few steps, before being put back on the respirator? I'm concerned about inactivity after surgery and getting the bowels moving, reducing adhesions, strengthening muscles and standing straight if it is necessary to remain on the respirator for several days after such surgery.
