My husband just found out that the issues he has been having for over a year since takedown are due to having way too much cuff/rectum left - about 7 cm. He has been diagnosed with 'proctitis'. We are hoping the topical treatments will help but just in case wanted to know how others have down with mucosectomy as we have been warned this can be very difficult. Thanks in advance!
