Water contrast enema leak detected

Hi all

I'm in the process of going through a pouch redo and have just had a water contrast enema x ray done that shows there is a slight leak at my anastomosis site where the pouch has been sewn onto my butt.

This test has been done 6 weeks after my redo operation and I am awaiting to discuss the results with my consultant. I have a loop ileostomy at the moment and the next stage is takedown and pouch activation.

Has anyone been through a similar experience? I'm hoping it's just a case of more healing time required. My join was hand sewn this time as opposed to stapled and I'm thinking that could be why the join has not sealed fully yet.

Anyway I'm slightly concerned about it but physically I feel fine. Any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks

tom

Hi Tom, what was the outcome of your problem? I have a friend that is going through the exact same issue.
