Pelvic Pain by Adhesions
Symptoms
A 35 year old woman was referred by another gynaecologist. She had experienced intermittent severe pelvic pain for many years.
Diagnosis
She had been reviewed by a gastro-enterologist and colonoscopy was normal. An operative examination was required.
Procedure
An operative laparoscopy was performed which revealed an adhesion between the caecum and right pelvic brim. It is likely that this occurred following an appendicectomy. The adhesion was divided.
Outcome
The pain completely resolved.
