Reply to "Intestinal perforation"

I'm so sorry to hear this.  I do think any kind of stricture  puts the bowel  at risk as the stool cannot pass through and as a result the  bowel most likely dilates.   Did they address the stricture surgically or is that at the pouch inlet area?  I wish you the best of luck. Strictures can be very stubborn. If you by chance have any obstructuve symptoms it is prob best to get right to ER but hopefully this has corrected your issue if from adhesions and scar tissue   

I have a stricture at pouch outlet  that has been dilated  several times and still gives me heartache every few months  I had two partial obstructions this week which I never experienced before and currently have awful pouchitis as stool has no where to go.   My surgeon is concerned about perforation so I'm having exam under anesthesia Monday as he is going to try and cut out the stricture and advance the pouch. It is a very small 5 mm stricture that has given me so much trouble the last few years
