Reply to "J pouch deterioration"

I second a referral to St Marks Hospital.

The surgeons reference to "being higher up"  I believe it's higher up of the intestinal tract and the Stoma will exit at the same place on the abdomen as any previous Stoma.

A section of the small intestine was used to create the J pouch;  so the surgeon has no choice but create a new Stoma in a higher section of the remaining small intestine.
