Re: sigmoid colon adhesions/colonoscopy

Posted By ]a href=}mailto:***@****}{chris]/a{ on May 07, 1999 at 00:30:07]P{In Jan 98 I had a colonoscopy done as part of a work up for abdominal pain. This was followed by a laparoscopy in Mar 98 at which time a small bowel adhesion causing a partial obstruction was removed but significant adhesions around the sigmoid colon were left. In Sept 98 I had to have another lap because of persistent symptoms.  When they removed the adhesions around the sigmoid colon they discovered that it was pulled over and stuck to the right pelvic wall. Wouldn't this have shown up on the colonoscopy? They did have to give me extra medication for the procedure because they said I was }letting them know} it was painful. (I don't remember the procedure at all)  Wouldn't they have had difficulty passing the scope if the colon went to the right side of my pelvis and they didn't know that?  Could this have been the cause of the pain I had during the procedure?  Thank you.]P{]P{]HR WIDTH=}75%} SIZE=}4} COLOR=}#000090}{
