pouchoscopy cause any issues for hernia repair?

PouchomarxMember

I had an incisional hernia repair at the old ileostomy site back in November, will a pouchoscopy next month cause any issues with that repair? I know when they do the scope they blow you up with air and wondering if there is any risk with messing with the hernia repair? my hernia doc says no, but haven't heard back from GI on this.

No. It should be fine. A hernia repair has only minimal involvement with the intestines, and all outside of the intestines. Plus, your old ileostomy incision is pretty far removed from your j-pouch.
