Interesting. I know there was an Israel based company Stimatix GI developing something called the AOS-C2000 (AOS stands for Artificial Ostomy Sphincter) before being bought by a German company for...
I have had the same problem actually, 11 months post-op and still draining a little daily, hasn't finished completely healing over. I had complete removal of the anus and rectum. My surgeon and GI...
