Bowel Twisting

Anyone here had their bowel twist before? I got a CT Scan the other day and they told me that some of my bowel has started twisting. My surgeon wants to do a laparoscopic surgery to untwist the bowl and then put some stitches on my pouch so my bowel can't sneak behind my pouch. However, if the twisting looks more concerning possibly put  mesh behind my pouch to prevent my bowel from getting behind my pouch. 

Bowel behind pouch would cut off my blood supply and start to kill my bowel is what I was told so we want to avoid that.
