My daughter may need to have diseased j-pouch removed. She has been diverted with loop ileostomy.
We need a second opinion as our surgeon is recommending (1) j-pouch redo or (2) “Barbie Butt”.
Is there another “interim” phase that anyone has ever heard of? To allow the possibility of another j-pouch “someday” and just get rid of pouch which is causing stricture after stricture. She is missing a lot of school. And life.
Surgeon recommendations please!
