banding procedure done by Dr. Shen for pouch prolapse

scallopMember

Hi All-- Dr. Shen was my doc at the Cleveland Clinic and is now at Columbia. He believes (based on a video appointment) that my pouch is somewhat prolapsed. He has a new banding procedure that is supposed to help with this. I don't fully understand it but the basic idea is that he'll put something similar to large rubber bands on the pouch which will cause scar tissue to form, which will help stop the prolapsing, There are no published data on this.

Has anybody done this? If so, did it help? Any problems?

Thanks so much,

Debbie
