New! Online Endoscopy Atlas for gynecologic laparoscopy
Dear patients and visitors!
The content of the Online Endoscopy Atlas documents a small selection of operative procedures performed in our hospitals. You are able to see the range of indications (like endoscopic surgery on very large fibroids) as well as the precise technique of the gasless lift-laparoscopy approach.
Where possible, there is a video film for viewing, which starts after klicking at the Play-Button. Some cases are divided in procedural steps to demonstrate each step of preparation.
Further videos are available at www.SurgeryU.com where Dr. Kruschinski and other world leaders in endoscopic gynecologic surgery demonstrate their techniques to physicians, students and patients.
Adhesions surgery in Germany?
Why to have Adhesion surgery in Germany ?
Prepared by Roselyn Macdonald, roselyn99@hotmail.com, after having surgery with Dr Kruschinski in late October, 2004.
As you read this information, there are three big advantages that Dr Kruschinski offers any adhesions patient, and which to my knowledge nobody else can, or will, offer. These are precisely and exactly WHY you SHOULD go to Dr K for your surgery and why it is very likely not only to get rid of your pain(s) but also to be the last surgery you’ll ever need for adhesions. As a patient myself who has had 18 years of adhesions and some 5 laparotomies (bad cut from the belly button straight down all the way each time) and some 4 or so laparoscopies with gas, I can tell you this truly. Your post operative pain will be nothing at all like previous surgeries because the spray gel keeps all cut surfaces sliding happily past each other. No ripping and tearing pain such as I had previously thought was ordinary and common (which of course it is for any of you who have not had Dr K’s wonderful work done on you).
Adhesions reform after surgery!
Surgery without any effects…
and which could be very dangerous, especially in adhesions surgery cases!
The next some images show why a surgery without adequate adhesion barriers doesn’t work and therefore is absolute
unnecessary, without any effect and can be dangerous.

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.
What is the endometriosis disease?
Endometriosis is a common condition affecting women. It is a chronic, painful, and often progressive disease in women. The causes of
What is conservative surgery for endometriosis?
The goal of conservative surgery is to aggressively remove as many endometrial implants and cysts as possible without causing surgical scarring and subsequent adhesions that could hamper future fertility. The two conservative surgical routes used are either laparoscopy or laparotomy. Improving Fertility. Surgery has been shown to improve infertility rates in women with severe endometriosis (stages III and IV). Some physicians recommend conservative surgery even in early-stage endometriosis, because of the progressive nature of the disorder and there is some evidence that it improves fertility. Fertility can often be restored even if the surgery does not remove all the endometrial implants. However, the best fertility rates in such cases occur in the early postoperative period. They decline over time if implants have not been completely eliminated. Subsequent surgeries become less effective in restoring fertility. Reducing Pain and its Recurrence.Studies report pain reduction after surgery in more than 60% of women. Conservative surgery, however, can miss microscopic implants that may continue to cause pain and other symptoms after the procedure. Laparoscopy is now the gold standard treatment for endometriosis. It is usually done under general anesthetic and involves the following:
Endometriosis: surgical strategies
Endometriosis is a chronic proliferative disorder and needs treatment aggressively to provide relief from its symptoms and arrest progression of the disease. Treatment options include medical or surgical or a combination of both.

What are the different types of adhesions?
The tissue develops when the body’s repair mechanisms respond to any tissue disturbance, such as surgery, infection, trauma, or radiation.
Although adhesions can occur anywhere, the most common locations are within the abdomen, the pelvis, and the heart.
Pelvic adhesions:
Pelvic adhesions may involve any organ within the pelvis, such as the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or bladder, and usually occur after surgery.
