Strictures with JPouch Part 1

LaurieFMember

Hi everyone, I haven't been on the boards in awhile cuz I have been very fortunate with my JPouch surgery in 2006. However now I've got scar tissue or strictures or something narrowing my intestine just above my pouch about 6 cm long. I have been dealing with this for the past year trying to balloon dialate it and one doc tried to stint it. Neither one was successfull cuz they said it was too narrow. Because of the position of the stricture, doc said that if he cut it out I could lose my pouch and to do a bypass of the strictures is "outside of the box" I'm going to be researching different surgeons and wonder if there is such a thing as a stricture/scar tissue specialist? My original surgeon retired several years ago and I don't have confidence in the doc I currently have been seeing. I live in Michigan. I am actually going to start another post about a few questions I have so this doesn't get to be too big of a post. Thanks for any input.

If you don’t mind traveling, Dr. Bo Shen at the Ohio Cleveland Clinic might be of some help. He runs the pouchitis clinic and has seen thousands of problem pouches.
