The surgery I had in 2000 to “tack the pouch” was done in Mount Sinai Hospital In NYC. It was done on an outpatient basis under General Anesthesia and no cutting. They went through my rectum with whatever tools were needed to cut, snip and tack. I was discharged the same day as the procedure. I think I took the train to NYC that day and was unaccompanied. Never had any issues after that. The surgery was done by Dr. Steven Gorfine of Manhattan Surgical Associates.

How would they go through rectum to tack it? wouldn't that cause a leak or a fistula by puncturing the pouch to tack it?
