Abdo-Lift® gasless laparoscopy

Abdo-Lift® gasless laparoscopy prevents numerous intraoperative problems that occur specifically with CO2….. more:http://www.karlstorz.com/

IHRT would, again, like to thank Helen Dynda for sharing this information & web link with us regarding the surgical gasless procedures being used at “Endogyn” Frankfurt, Germany! It really does offer up some very important information that seems to have been oppressed from the Endogyn web site and information that simply appears to have been “embellished” on the Endogyn web site as well! Again, IHRT could not have secured this “NEW” information regarding surgery with the “Abdolift®” without Helen’s assistance.

IHRT stands by their claim that “The adhesiolysis procedure performed at Endogyn does NOT benefit an ARD patient by either the “Abdolift®” OR the “Sprygel, so save your money, time and energy going to Endogyn, as it offers less then more for persons afflicted with ARD!”

ALL prospective patients to Endogyn MUST read this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.) Click: Special treatments
2.) At the left, click on: Gasless Laparoscopy
3.) Click on: What makes the difference? “ Cartoon” and information about the “mechanics of the “Abdolift®” and in the last box on this page, it contains information that is NOT validated by anything other then Daniel and his wife’s “research,” which is bogus as there is nothing “noxious” during any intra-abdominal surgery no mater the procedure!!
4.) Click: Why gasless? This article does NOT contain anything to substantiate Daniels claims that the “Abdolift®” “Avoids hypoxaemia and dessication of the peritoneum & Evades detrimental and noxious consequences for peritoneal cells” There IS NO validation of this occurring in any intra-abdominal surgical procedure!
5.) Click: Method & Technique: This box contains information that equates gasless surgery with open surgery AND the benefits of a laporoscpoic surgery, there is absolutely nothing about any physiological consequences or benefits of either procedure! What appears to be a difference though not listed in this material is that gasless creates a huge adhesion at the site of introducing the hook, where laporoscopic surgery does not.
6.) Results: Click on Advantages: “All the “advantages of a gasless procedures listed here are the mechanical aspects and financial savings to the hospital, some discomfort to the patients, however again, there is NO mention of any benefits to the tissues located within the peritoneum, nor to any destruction of tissues within the peritoneum if surgery is done without a gasless procedure. Nothing one-way or the other really differs with a non-gasless surgery or a gasless one other then the gasless creates a huge adhesion at the site of introducing the hook, where laporoscopic surgery does not!
7.) Click on: “Experimental studies” give this page time to load please as it is worth the wait!
Conclusion: It appears to us that Daniel tucks the “truth of the benefits of the Abdolift®” away within Endogyn, rather then placing it on the “message board” for all to read as part of a “Patients Rights to Know” so they can be as informed as possible prior to securing a surgery at Endogyn! This material offers up the truth of Daniels claims of “reduced tissue damage compared to any other surgery,” by use of the Abdolift®! Seems that it is not true at all..
Reply to:
KARL STORZ Web site information bring up tons of questions!

Helen, can you find any information to validate any pathogenesis benefits to the gasless surgery at Endogyn, other then Daniel and his wife’s “research!”
We would also like to know who they did this research on…people?
Can you find out if anyone else in the world is using any type of “abdominal lift apparatus??

Thank-you for the good work here, Helen! As we can see here in the KARL STORZ
Web site regarding the “Gasless Laparoscopy with Abdo-Lift®, “ it appears the the most significant difference is the gas that can escape during a laporoscopy using gas, however, it doesn’t mention that gas can be introduced at any time and is monitored for effectiveness during the procedure! There is nothing about an “Pathengesis” distruction of tissue, as Daniel claims, and there really is nothing stating any studies of it’s use for “adhesions” nor is there any mention of the possibility that the entrance site can cause adhesions, and we know without any study by the KARL STORZ Co. that it can! However, IHRT will be contacting the KARL STORZ Co. regarding the pictures in Endogyn and Daniels comments regarding 3rd look procedures and adhesions caused by their “Abdolift®!” (This is so disturbing to IHRT because it appears that not even the “SprayGel” adhesion barrier is effective on this type of adhesions, and we KNOW that SprayGel is one of the most effective adhesion barriers ever developed, but not in Daniel adhesiolysis procedures!
Based on everthing we have read, and what Helen has brought to our attention, IHRT can only conclude that the adhesiolysis procedure performed at Endogyn does NOT benefit an ARD patient by use of either the “Abdolift®” OR “Sprygel, so save your money, time and energy going to Endogyn, as it offers less then more for persons afflicted with ARD!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here are some of the concerns IHRT will bring up to KARL STORZ Co:
1.) How would an ARD patient going to Endogn know if a “4th” surgery would be necessary if the ““Abdolift®” causes adhesions in the 2nd, and now a 3rd look, and
2.) Do I think that the ““Abdolift®” undermines the “gasless” part of the adhesiolysis from being as successful and necessary as the surgeon there states it is?
3.) How can the adhesiolysis with the “Abdolift®” be better for an ARD patient if it causes adhesions?
4.) What makes this surgery in Germany better then any adhesiolysis here in the USA if the “Spraygel” is as ineffective as this surgeon at Endogyn states it is when used with gas, yet there were a lot of adhesions in the second and third looks from his surgery with the “Abdolift®!”
5.) What would the reason be for an ARD patient to go there (Endogyn) if they have to go back that far again and again when your being told that a “Abdolift®” gasless surgery with “Spraygel” isn’t as successful as once thought?
6.) It is so confusing to see these pictures and read that the “Abdolift®” gasless procedure is the best, yet I see all those adhesions in his pictures and he says they are from 2nd, & 3rd looks from his procedure, what is the truth? Of course, pictures are truth, but why would he keep using that “hook” when he knows it causes adhesions?
7.) Why doesn’t Storz have any information regarding adhesions and the “Abdolift®!”
8.) Why isn’t the “Spraygel” working in Dr. Kruschinski's gasless surgery?
