Just curious if any UC folks have had strictureplasty done, or colon stricture dilation near splenic flexure?
I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy on Monday with a new doc and am hoping she says my colon stricture can be either dilated or treated with strictureplasty. My former doc was not well versed in strictures.
My stricture is a result of a traumatic colonoscopy done in 2008 that left scar tissue. A bad flare in 2010 added to the issue. The new doc is inclined to send me off for either j-pouch or permanent ileostomy surgery. I'm inclined to try other options.
Any experiences out there? Thanks for sharing.
