Reply to "closed-loop obstruction."

SteveGMember

Sounds like the stricture is way above the pouch, but I can't tell if it is around the old stoma site (as they call it "anastomotic"). Anyway you should ask you GI doc or the doctor who did the CT scan what kind of measures he / she would advise.

A closed loop would mean a distended piece of small intestine between two narrowings that are close to each other. The report mentions only one stricture. And it would be interesting to know the residual diameter of the stricture, as it could cause partial obstructions that would relate to your symptoms (tummy ache and bloatings).
