Reply to "K-pouch after suspected crohns due to fistula?"

kaydbirdMember

Kelsie, I had a j-pouch for 12 years before developing a RV fistula. Tried several repairs and nothing worked. I was also at that time diagnosed with crohns disease. I did get the k-pouch despite crohns diagnosis because there was no small bowel involvement, just in the j-pouch. I have had my k-pouch just over 7 years now. I don't know if the fistula is gone or not but I had a complete proctectomy (rectum removed) so its a mute point. I have annual scopes of the pouch. So far all my scopes have been neg for inflammation except the last one. I was put on 2 week course of cipro and go back for another scope in Sept. so we'll see. but no symptoms. no urgency, no leaking so thats all good. I am very happy with my k-pouch and very glad I did it. It was the right choice for me. I hope that is helpful.
