Got it! I'm guessing then, they are referring to the inlet area on the afferent limb. Would that be closest to where the temporary ileo was?

The temporary loop ileostomy site is not right at the J-pouch. It’s upstream on the afferent limb, some distance away, and stool gets directed out of the side of the intestine. It’s a common site for discomfort and obstructions after take down, but ulceration and inflammation there (if they were able to get the scope up that far) would, I think, suggest Crohn’s Disease. I’d guess that’s not the spot we’re talking about, but I can’t quite tell. You could perhaps show the doctor the diagram and ask him to point to the spot.
