Dr. Gregory Fossum, associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital:

"Research shows that adhesions/internal scars are associated with 15-20 percent of infertility cases and 20-50 percent of chronic pelvic pain cases, yet most women are unaware of adhesions and associated risks."

Fossum, a national thought leader on Cesarean births and the formation of adhesions, provides expertise on the formation of internal scars, complications that can arise, and prevention methods, as well as related Ob/Gyn issues. Fossum has vast experience treating women suffering from adhesion-related complications.
