Reply to "How often are you meant to have a pouchoscopy?"

I was told that after the J-pouch surgery, the chances of getting rectal cancer in the remaining tissue is less than 1%. Guess that is why it is important to have scopes at regular intervals. One of my surgeons says yearly scopes are necessary. My other surgeon has me on a three year schedule for scopes after ten years of annual scopes with no problems.
