Intestinal perforation

New to this forum though I have had a jPouch for many years. I recently had an intestinal perforation. It was way above my pouch and required an emergency resection and antibiotics. They were concerned about sepsis. I was told that scar adhesions actually saved me because it stopped the feces from going into my abdomen.

The doctor's have no idea what caused it. They called it a fluke.  I was curious if anyone else has experienced this and if you were able to determine the cause. I am about to have takedown surgery and am worried about this sort of thing happening again.

Thanks.
