Hello -
I had my J Pouch in 1989 and been doing really well. 4 weeks ago I started with horrendous pain and vomiting.
Was taken by ambulance to the hospital and after a CT showed double blockage in my small bowel needing emergency operation asap as the tissue in my bowel was dying.
OPERATIVE FINDINGS -
Multiple interloop adhesion through out the small bowel mixture of grade 2 and 3 interloop adhesion(Zuhlke grading system),10 cm of dilated loop of the smal bowel proximal to the J pouch, that has caused closed loop obstruction.no bowel ischemia,enlarge liver,safe and careful dissection with combination of sharp and blunt dissection and adhesionlysis.no stricture/obstruction in the pouch, patent ileoanal anastomosis.
Been home 2 weeks and the pain from my wound is really bad - eating soft diet but really concerned of another obstruction and needing a permanent ileostomy.
I am interested if anyone else with a j pouch has experienced similar.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Take good care,
