    What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

    Endometriosis is a chronic disease that is difficult to diagnose and to treat.
    Without treatment, endometriosis gets progressively worse in 65% to 80% of patients.
    Even with treatment, endometriosis continues to advance in 20% of patients.
    Cysts and implants may grow and spread to other parts of the pelvis, and in very severe cases, to the urinary or intestinal tracts. Eventually adhesions may form. These are dense, web-like structures of scar tissue that can attach to nearby organs and cause pain, infertility, and intestinal obstruction.
    Pelvic Pain
    The most common problem for women with endometriosis is pain, which can significantly impair the quality of life.

  • New adhesions barrier "SprayShield™" to prevent adhesions formation

    New adhesions barrier “SprayShield™” to prevent adhesions formation

    Since March 2001 we have been using this novel spray substance SprayShield™, (formerly SprayGel) to prevent adhesions following gynaecological surgical procedures. In general, adhesions are formed after all surgical measures involving laparotomy. But even during laparoscopy, which is a form of minimally invasive surgery, wound surfaces can be formed during certain procedures, such as for example endometriosis or myoma operations. These surfaces can adhere to each other, thus forming adhesions.
