My daughter had her colectomy and J-pouch formation in one surgery Dec. 2011. Takedown was postponed due to an anastomotic leak & abscess, which seems to have healed after 4 months of JP drain and 12 months of antibiotics.
She saw Dr. Shen for a 2nd opinion about the pouch and takedown surgery, as she was having increasing pain. He thought the pouch looked good, but found a very large peritoneal inclusion cyst & said to take care of that before takedown. Had a drain inserted back home, but had to remove after 3 weeks, due to horrible pain. Another MRI showed huge cyst still there, but local surgeon wanted to schedule takedown anyway. So confused and scared.
Tried researching non-surgical treatment of Peritoneal Inclusion Cyst, but could hardly find anything. Any help or hope would be appreciated.
